Pilot scheduling

I will keep asking about that, but so far no one has said that traveling is ok..

The Kingdom of Heaven is within YOU

Lezam,

Judging by your comments it would appear that you are enslaved by your religion. It seems that you are following rules just to conform, yet your soul tells you otherwise.

Follow your soul, for that will lead you to the Kingdom of Heaven and to your true destiny. Listen to your internal voice and do not be afraid to break away from these man-made rules that were only written with the signle purpose to control.

Ask yourself how much longer you wish to give your power away. Take responsability for your own life and live it how YOU really wish to live it. If you don't have joy in your life then live it the way YOU want to. That is the only way you will find freedom.

Even Rabbis work on Saturdays.

Just as vicars work on Sundays....

Lezam I think you have enough information here. You can talk to El Al, you can talk to your (or maybe preferably another) Rabbi, you can talk to anyone you like, but ultimately it's your decision, no-one else's. The only one responsible for your life is you yourself. To deny yourself the opportunity to be a pilot because of some intransigent rules of your sect that seem not to affect the vast majority of Jews seems to me to be perverse, but it's up to you. I advise you to open your eyes and have a deep think about what is important to you and why, and contemplate the amount of influence religion has on your life and whether or not that is right for you. Remember that almost every one of the major religions claims to worship the same deity, yet each argues - frequently to the point of war - about the rules of that worship and which 'club' is right. It's all rather pathetic, in my opinion. Make up your own mind; don't be dictated to.

And now, to avoid this becoming a debate about religion rather than jobs, I shall close the subject.
