The Orthodox Jews begin their Sabbath before sundown Friday and ends after sundown Saturday. During Sabbath, work of any kind is prohibited including driving a car, using the phone, handling money, and even pushing an elevator button. The highest law demands that one must do everything to save a life. If someone cannot do something because of Sabbath, other alternative ways of accomplishing desired goal can be found. Times of prayer is important, therefore it is important to arrange a schedule with the client beforehand.
