"Occupy Wall Street" Movement Leads to New Call: "Occupy Shabbat!"


Much has been written over the last few months about the various groups participating in the takeover of Zuccotti Park in downtown Manhattan, their different agendas, and their styles of protesting whatever it is they are protesting.

It was inevitable that spoof protests would arise for still other agendas, using the methods employed by the original protesters. One of the funnier spoofs was "Occupy Sesame Street."

The latest of these occupy takeoffs is "Occupy Shabbat." In the video below from Shabbat.com, you'll see a mob of angry people insisting on more Shabbat observance, shouting and carrying signs that say "We want Shabbat," "We want Challah," "We want Cholent," and "We want no work on Shabbat."

Enjoy, and have a Shabbat Shalom.
