Jews and the Sabbath and other musings

I was wondering how Jews in Germany opperate. Since basiclly nothing is open on Sunday, what do they do that day? My husband and I do big shopping on the weekends. (Aldi twice a month.) We went to look at beds yesterday. This is something a Jewish couple could not do.

Well I did a short walk today with the two smaller one. Almost 2 year old walking and the little one in the carriage. I am not sure how much of the German way of life I can give them.

Bush shut down the city of Mainz and people are pissed. Get over it. That's what it is like when any US president leave the White house. I remember when Bush Sr went to NY once, it took me 3 hours to get home when it normally only takes 1 and 1/2. And I was in NJ. I also remember when Gore was campaigning in NJ the parkway was jammed for hours. My question is this. If mainz was shutdown completely where were all those protester at?
