takebackourtemple,

I will not argue about who is stuck up or not. The issue is simply one of halacha. Most of the time the minyans which I attend on Shabbat usually provide lodging for those who attend so they dont have to break any melachot. Also friends of mine who would have Shabbatons at their house would usually have extra matresses and beds for people to sleep over so that they dont have to drive. If you could find such a good minyan which does what it can to prevent people from violating the Shabbat.

Shabbat is truly a treasure which has kept the Jewish people alive all these millenia. Proper observance of this Holy Day is very important for the spiritual and physical well being of the Jewish people. Much has been written of the importance of each of the halachas of Shabbat. I dont presume to know more than the great sages of ours and even though I am not perfect, I strive for better observance.

A proper attitude is to try to learn from people who are more observant and understand the meanings of refraining from all creative work. May your Shabbats be more precious.
