Question
Passover is coming. I know the fist two and last two days we are not to work etc. My question is during the intermediary days. Is it better to not work on those days at all? I am a recruiter by profession and work on the computer all day and phone. Also drive to the office and sometimes write. Should I not work at all during the intermediary (middle) days of Passover or should I request to work remote during the middle days so I can still work but I don't drive? Thank you.

Question
Shalom rabbi. I have noticed racism is a worldwide problem. Anti-Semitism is racism as I heard. I have faced racism also. Not only me, many people are facing problem for racism. When I and my friends comment in youtube, many racists attack us without any reason. I have noticed that most of the racism is expressed in facebook and youtube comments. When I began to ask them are you racist, then they tell me that no, "you are racist". That is like the matter a thief caught red-handed and telling the witness that I am not a thief, you are a thief! Does anti-Semitism come as a result of jealousy?

Question
Shalom aleichem Rabbi Lauffer. Thank you for answering my last question. If one has a “smart” thermostat, specifically a “Nest,” where if you walk into the room on Shabbos it causes the motion sensor on the Nest to light up the display so that it displays the temperature, and the thermostat is also designed to take into account whenever someone enters the room so as to better set the schedule of when the heat goes on automatically, would it be prohibited to enter the room on Shabbos? Thanks.
