"A proposed #NewYorkState #law aimed at reducing #lightpollution could create a real problem for the state’s millions of #Jews, particularly on #Shabbos and #YomTov.

The “#DarkSkiesProtectionAct,” introduced in the State Senate by #Senator #BradHoylmanSigal, would require most outdoor lights across #NewYork to shut off between 11 pm and sunrise starting January 1, 2028.

The #legislation covers residential floodlights, building uplighting, commercial spotlights, and billboards, with the goal of preserving dark skies while “promoting safety for people, birds and other wildlife, conserving energy and reducing our carbon footprint.”

New York 'Dark Sky' Bill Could Put Frum Jews in a Bind | Anash.org

A newly proposed New York law could leave hundreds of thousands of frum homeowners across the state with no compliant outdoor lighting option on Shabbos and Yom Tov. One assemblyman is already keeping a close eye on it.

Why does Shabbat have to start so late? I go to bed at 9:00 but I'm going to have to stay up late for the candles to burn out, and stay up late for havdala tomorrow.
