Man do we need this DO!!!
Just as soon as you have the Shabbos compliant surveillance system installed, we can have it scheduled.
I guess we have a culture barrier. You are confusing the way I look at Shabbos with the way I understand what it means to you. Those are two totally separate things.
I believe to you it means everything. There is no discussion of you missing Shabbos because that is not an option. As you have stated Shabbos is part of you.
Now as far as a Catholic missing Sunday mass. AFAIK my mother never missed Sunday mass in her lifetime expect when she was incapacited. On some of those occassions a priest came to the house/hospital to give her Commuion. So your remark was really disrespectful but I did not take it that way since you are not aware what Caholic mass on Sunday means to some Catholics.
I apologize. I definitely didn't mean it in a disrespectful way.
Davening with a Minyan is extremely important, and some people never miss it, and would forgo many things in order not to have to miss it. But even for such people, that's not the same as Shabbos. It is extremely important to me, but I can't say I never miss it.
