I don't think you can expect estate agents to suddenly remember the feelings of a minority group and thus feel empowered to hold an auction on another day. <br /><br />A house hunting shomer shabbat yid will simply pursue other means. (My understanding is that while many auctions do occur on Saturday, many also occur during the week in the evenings).<br /><br />As far as our neighborhoods being 'frum.' Well, they may be home to a number of frum families, but our neighborhoods are a far cry from the 'frum' neighborhoods in Israel or America. You can't compare Bondi to say, Mea shearim or Boro Park.<br /><br />If your issue is with potentially promoting chillul shabbat though, right on! But it goes back to a comment I made regarding the <br />advertisement for a treif establishment next to one for the KA. Why should we expect anything less?Reb Nossonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843426103950643279.post-37672374454864332842012-06-11T00:44:18.342+10:002012-06-11T00:44:18.342+10:002 such shabbos auctions coming up off glen eira rd...2 such shabbos auctions coming up off glen eira rd<br />Elizabeth st and st georfes rd<br /><br />I think it is the usual offender Biggin and Scottgarry friednoreply@blogger.com
