Please note: Orthodox Jews are forbidden to travel on the Sabbath. They are permitted only to walk a short distance. So this zoning law essentially makes it impossible for Orthodox Jews to live or to wosrhip in this area.
It also would forbid Christian prayer groups to meet in home for bible study, and for prayer. But at least Christians could meet elsewhere. Orthodox Jews could not.
This is pretty scary because our churches always have get togethers at someone's home for singing, prayers and eating.
I smell a Lawsuit! Unless I am mistaken it is a pretty common practice for Jewish people to hold prayer meetings/religious services in private homes of their members. I think this dates back to the time of the exile. Sounds like the State is trying to interfere with the practice of religion. Like maybe separation of Church and State is being violated here?
The laws put in place by a board or trust or governmental agency or entity DO NOT get to run over your rights under the constitution. As I understand titles and dees, unless you agree on your title or deed to land as to the specific use of it it is yours to do with as you please. This is why I detets and do not obey PERMITS for anything on my property. To say that I have to have a permit to do or accomplish ANY thing on my property is DEPRIVATION of my right to do with my property as I see fit. This includes any activity on it as well.
There are many who then tell me that it is a protection for me and my neighbors. I laugh at them. I am to be responsible. Period dot. the law on that is clear. If I build something and it causes harm, I am in trouble for it and responsible for it. I do not need to be told that I may not do it because it MAY harm someone. That is deprivation of my right to my property unless I pay their blackmail fee. I put up a shed I have to both seek permission and pay their blackmail fee. I will not. I will also have over however many I please as long as I can safely fit them on my property for what ever reason I wish as long as I do no harm to others or raise a ruckus.
If this Rabbi bends to their wishes, it is nothing more than playing into the hands of the love-to-control-your-life-freaks.

Kalifornia, here we come, right back where we legislate from!
It's not just Saturdays. Here's a link to an Orlando Sentinel article:
Here's a quote from tha article:
Neighbors complained to the county about cars parked on their lawns, in some instances breaking sprinkler heads.
“It’s not just small, occasional gatherings,” said Ted McDonald, who lives a few doors down from Konikov and is president of the Sand Lake Hills Homeowners Association. He said the rabbi sometimes hosts nearly a dozen meetings a week.
While I would object strongly if this were only a small religious gathering, something of this magnitude should find somewhere other than a residence to meet.
