Observant Jews and Sabbath Elevators

For Jews who observe the Sabbath and holidays like Passover, living in a high-rise building poses a quandary: How do you get to the 23rd floor without pressing the elevator button, a task that would violate a prohibition against creating sparks and fires? Enter Sabbath elevators, a modern accommodation for an ancient restriction. Such elevators are programmed to stop diligently on every floor, delivering residents to their apartments, albeit very slowly.
