I was a Goy who turned the lights, A/C, stove on and off...

Even in the most conservative neighborhoods they have a workaround the, "Eruv"

Its basically an defined boundary agreed to by the community where certain Sabbath rules are waived

Wiki: Eruvim


I know this post was pure religion... but it is just information..

Cool, thanks for the info. Like I said, I have had minimal experience with Jews, so this sort of info is very interesting to me.
