New electric meters in Israel can go pre-paid "The meter is also programmed to prevent it from shutting off power on the Sabbath and Jewish holidays." Full text.. http://www.israelnn.com/news.php3?id=113744

Now let me wrap my brain around this...
Keeping the power on is okay, because shutting it off on the Sabbath is work?
I'm happy that at least they can see that God does not withhold his blessings and sustaining power on the Sabbath
Gotta give them an A for effort!
Thanks for sharing this!

YOu have to think about it for a while to get the full implication. Gotta hand it to them, they have proved, one more time, that if you believe in something enough you can find a way to work it into your lifestyle.

OK, I dont get it. Dont they have electricity on command like we do? You know, flip a switch and there it is? So why do they need a meter programmed to not let it go off? Do they have to buy electricity every day? ROFL I sound very dense dont I? I know about not turning on or off things etc. Why not just use timers on their lamps and stuff?
