From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Judaism and bus stops refers to the significance of bus stops in Judaism. The use of bus stops in the Jewish religion is forbidden on Sabbath (Shabbat); doing so in preparation for motzei shabbath involves transgressions of the sanctity of the day by "preparing" (hachonah) for the mundane.
Bus stops are also of concern within the Jewish religious leadership as they sometimes feature immodest advertisements which are frowned upon. Although usually dealt with through the proper channels, such displays have often led to vigilante behaviour by Jewish extremists who set about destroying the bus stop in protest, especially in Israel.[1]
