\"At Adorama we do appreciate that our closing times can be inconvenient to some of our potential customers.
Adorama\'s owner is an observant orthodox Jewish gentleman, whose beliefs prohibit him - his family and his business - from operating on the Sabbath and on many of the religious holidays (which all begin an hour prior to sunset the evening before the day of the holiday, which is why we close early on Fridays).
We can\'t employ non-Jews here during those days, because to do so would involve the company conducting business - which is forbidden in Jewish Law.\"
Thanks for posting the link - I might Tweet it today as the feedback has always been that it is an explanation in a nutshell.
