[Vision2020] French restaurant

[Kai Eiselein, editor]

Ummm, Ralph,

So why is it superstition for Christians to close shop on Sundays, but not
superstition for Jews to close shop Friday evening thru Saturday evening?
I've noticed that many of my photo equipment suppliers on the east coast
close about 3 p.m. Friday and reopen Sunday a.m. Many email a list of
dates/holidays (superstition?) they will be closed.
Please enlighten us as to what the difference is, other than the day of the
week a business is closed.

Eating in a restaurant is not equivalent to shopping, puttering in
the garden or going for a drive in the country. Driving yourself or
others into bankruptcy in the name of religion is superstition.
Orthodox Jews keep the Sabbath between sundown Friday and sundown
Saturday. They are perfectly free to visit a restaurant on Sunday.

I'm sure many restaurateurs in France consider themselves to be
Christians, even though they are open for business on Sunday. They
often close some weekday instead.
