Rabbi Sol, if I were a Hasidic or other highly observant Jew (I'm not), would it be permitted to use "The Clapper" to turn lights on and off on Shabbat? Would I be affected by the strobe effect whilst ecstatic dancing and clapping? Would I have to say an Al Chayt (Hebrew for Mea Culpa) on Yom Kippur for doing it?
Also, would it be permitted to answer a voice activated cell phone on that same Shabbat?
But seriously, I have never quite understood the concept of Glatt Kosher, which I translate as more Kosher than Thou.
I await your Responsa.---John
