Shabbat

The windows of a Herzliya pasta franchise were smashed, allegedly due to the business operating on Shabbat. The city's mayor condemned the act as a 'serious criminal act,' expressed support for the business, and pledged to uphold the city's 'beacon of liberalism' identity.

A court rejected a petition seeking to close a shopping mall on Shabbat, citing Ramat Hasharon's commitment to enforce Day of Rest laws at BIG Fashion Glilot as sufficient to cancel proceedings. The judge acknowledged uncertainty about whether enforcement actions are being taken.

An unidentified individual dressed in Muslim garb vandalized a kosher bagel shop in New York City's Jamaica Estates for nearly five minutes. The incident occurred during Shabbat, when Jewish customers were home, and was captured on video.
