The Gas Crisis

October 7, 2008

J.D. Roth asks, “Are Gas Prices Changing the Way We Drive?” Truth be told, during my recent trip to Los Angeles, I found the price of gas astronomically high, and as such I was constantly asking myself, “How can I accomplish the most amount of errands using the least amount of gas?” In general, I met people who had to suddenly become more scrupulous of their driving time, because of the ramifications it had on their wallet. While it may be “annoying” that we can’t just hop in the car and drive here and there as we please, a positive development from this Gas Crisis is that like it or not, it has forced us to become more cognizant of our time-which is certainly something Judaism, a religion that has Time-Bound Commandments, appreciates!
