Origin of Holiday

Hello good evening Br **

Probably my remark might be thought too trivial. He was executed whatever the way it might be.

Moses was a wise man. He tried to establish social systems valid still in today's world.
Jewish people had been suffered from hard work and no rest. They had to keep on working till they died.

Moses had thought how they can get a rest without changing the frame of society. Hard work is, of course necessary for humans to survive. Taking a rest is, also very important to keep on working efficiently and everlastingly. So it was important to determine how often they can take a rest without losing two important factors, working hard and taking a rest.

Moses tried to stabilise the rate 5.5 workday and 1.5 taking a rest by introducing Sabbath. The custom of Sabbath was very new to them and some tried to work even when others are taking a rest.

Moses thought it is a sever violation or threat to the effective continuation of productive activity in society. Therefore it took one night to make up his mind whether to execute and how to execute him -the Sabbath breaker.

Moses used in his execution not hanging, stubbing only by one executor but stoning by all members of society, emphasising he committed a crime not against one person but against the benefit of all - I think this is the meaning of his being stoned to death.


I recall somewhere in Hebrew Scriptures that we mustn't eat pork. In today's world no Christians keep this rule. What I understand is the pork at that time is not the same one now we have. In ancient times swine eat various foods so they tend to be contaminated by poisonous matters, therefore prohibited.

Is my understanding correct? Or is there any new decree that we can eat pork?


Thank you for taking your time.
