I can already see how this turns into another ugly fight...
But YBA has a good point here - if you're talking about a lunch picnic, then
we can probably forget the idea - Saturdays are impossible (let's not begin
to argue why, and which rabbi said what to whom), Fridays are nearly impossible
(because some people are religious *and* need to return to their far-away
homes), and weekdays are also nearly impossible (unless your boss sees going
to Linux picnics part of your work).
So we're left with three options, as far as I can see:
1. Return to the restaurant idea. If everything fails, we can go to the
"kafe keilu" in Tel-Aviv (does it still exist?) - I'm sure nobody
will find them to violate his/her religious/atheistic/crazy beliefs.
2. Have a "brunch" picnic some Friday morning. BTW, I assume that no religious
person will have a problem with seeing other people eating a big ham-
sandwich-with-cheese next to him in the open?
3. Have a weekday evening bonfire/barbique/whatever, everybody brings their
own kosher food or pork with cheese. (but this is complicated because we
need to find a place and wood).
People, let's think of ideas on how this can work, not ideas of how to distroy
it by disrespecting other people.
