Blurry Lines

The lines are blurry between who is defined as "secular" and who as "religious" when men carrying cellular phones on Shabbat proceed to take a napkin and put it on top of their head for the duration of their meal so as to not eat bareheaded.

The lines are blurry between who is defined as "secular" and who as "religious" when a child, who only a few minutes prior was playing a video game on a computer, chides his parents for forgetting to perform the ritual of netilat yadiyim before partaking of their bread.

The lines are blurry between who is defined as "secular" and who as "religious" when a woman, sitting by herself looking at her PDA, stops what she is doing and walks over to the "religious" couple dining at the next table over and asks to hear kiddush.

Some observations from this past Shabbat.
