A Favorite Greeting In The Chasaidic & Orthodox Jewish Areas
On Friday Afternoon, the favorite saying is "Have A Good Shabbos". Shabbos is Yiddish for Sabbath.
These Jews do not do any Servile Work, including turning on & off light switches. For this, a person called a "Shabbos Goy", would do this.
Way back when, at the corner of Lincoln & Liberty Avenues, in East NY, my father was a Shabbos Goy, who would turn on & off the lights in a small synagogue at that corner.
Currently, there are no Jewish Residents of that area.
