Just a little LOL tribute to our favorite Rabbi.

Wow, the Rabbi is a Red Sox Fan in enemy territory

Youkilis is a hard working guy and a clutch player, he should get some consideration again as MVP

Now this I find very interesting, I'd always considered it that only the Rabbi and Cantor work on Shabbos being as it is their job to lead the congregation and the Cantor's job to sing and pray in hebrew for those that can't in a way. Though I guess technically it's not work but a labor of love/calling.

I still don't get paid for Shabbos, or any other day. I raise all of the funds through donation for my organization.

The definition of "work" on Shabbos is clearly defined in the Torah. There are 39 specific tasks (and those associated with them) that were forbidden to do in the Mishkan (Tabernacle) and later in the Beit Hamikdash (Holy Temple) on Shabbos. These laborious activities are what we, as Jews, are forbidden to do on Shabbos.
