Kosher Lamp — Made in China
Why are we not surprised? I mean, what isn't?
Dan Levin's article in yesterday's New York Times explored the brave new world of kosher mashups which enable even the most strictly Orthodox of Jews to use 21st century technology to stay connected yet still remain within the rules.
The lamp, pictured above, is from Kosher Innovations, whose president, Rabbi Shmuel Veffer (below, holding one),
invented it in 2004.
The lamp has a shade that can be twisted to block out the bulb's light but that does not turn it off, making it street legal — erm, kosher.
Veffer told Levin that in the past four years he's sold "tens of thousands" of his lamps.
They come in Black, White, Bronze or Silver.

So I can eliminate the light emanating from within, but keep generating the light?
Didn't some other fellow talk about not hiding a light under a bushel?
Oops, different mythology! :-)
Obviously it's a minuscule usage, but isn't that just a wee bit silly and self centered in an energy challenged world to consume energy for zero benefit?
