      87 Percent of Hareidim Would Boycott Shabbat-Violaters


      According to an opinion survey conducted by the Geocartographia polling agency, 87 percent of the Haredi-religious community in Israel would boycott companies that violate the Sabbath.

      The boycott on the byproducts of Shabbat violation include apartments constructed with materials produced on the Sabbath, according to Geocartographia. Among those polled who consider the source of construction materials to be important, over two-thirds said they would not buy an apartment that they suspected was constructed using products produced in violation of the Jewish Sabbath.
