Jerusalem – Israel’s Ashkenazi chief rabbi, David Lau, called on Jews to extend by 20 minutes the time they observe Shabbat this week to protest its violation during the Eurovision song contest.

“This coming Saturday there will be a massive desecration of Shabbat for all the world to see,” Lau said in a filmed address Thursday. “Let us extend the sanctity of Shabbat.”
Orthodox Judaism commands Jews to refrain from working, operating machines, working and starting any fire on Shabbat, among other prohibitions on that day.
The Eurovision finals are set to take place in Tel Aviv on Shabbat.
Lau asked his listeners to begin observing Shabbat 10 minutes ahead of its actual beginning on Friday evening and another 10 minutes after it ends on Saturday night.
Shabbos six days a week. One day to work!
And if it were fully compliant with Shabbat, would Eurovision be mutar in eretz Yisrael?
It wont help anything. The Chilul Shabos is there. Its there on the spiritually lost soil of the long lost holiness of EY. Lost on the secular and religious Zionists that created the Zionist State. This is the fruits of their labor. Let them eat it with appetit.
The entire Medinah is treif from head to toe. This Chilul Shabos only adds to the desecration that’s started on the infamous day of 5 of Iyur some 70 years ago.
I love how the Chareidi Zionists are all hysterical about this Shabos. Isnt Bibi their savior? Could he ever do something wrong? Wow! He actually did! His predecessors created the Zionist state by wanting to uproot the pintele yid in everyone. Theyre slowly waking up to a harsh reality. WELCOME TO UR BELOVED ZIONISM.
Good News! The Icelandic group has compromised. They will still wear bondage gear for their number, but have agreed to wear rubber fetish wear underneath.

No, I am not kidding.
