But there are a few of us. And planning an interesting event like this on Shabbat (and right after a very busy holyday) guarantees that we cannot attend. That's really a shame, and it doesn't have to be this way. I assume the organizers just didn't think much about it one way or the other; but maybe we need to encourage our public activists to think that Shabbat should be remembered for public event planning and in consideration of those few Jews for whom that commandment is dear.
