To all you folks who think that a parked car on Shabbos in a shul parking lot means someone drove on Shabbos: your ability to jump to unwarranted – and wrong – conclusions is astounding. At my shul, the rabbi’s car is always there on Shabbos – he drives there before Shabbos, davens Mincah, Maariv and Kabbalos Shabbos, walks home, walks back on Saturday morning for Sharchris, stays all day, and after Havdalah, drives home.
And, of course, for some of you purists who shows a lack of Ahavos Yisrael, someone who would otherwise not daven on Shabbos who drives to shul is, possibly, a future Shabbos observer. If you turn up your noses as such people, you are not helping the Jewish people.
