Can You Secure Your Property Without Violating Halacha? Yes and Here’s How

Imagine this: It’s Friday evening, and you’ve just finished all your tasks. The scent of freshly baked challah fills the air, and you’re ready to welcome Shabbos. And then… a thought crosses your mind. Is your home really secure? Have you left your home vulnerable by turning off the alarm system?

Observant Jews face a serious challenge when it comes to burglar alarm systems on Shabbos. Many don’t even realize that their “off” systems might still violate halacha. Why? Because even when deactivated, many alarms still sense motion and activity—triggering halachic prohibitions like boneh (building), soter (tearing down), and molid (producing).

The Bad News? There’s No Easy Fix.

People have tried everything—covering detectors, disabling sensors in certain areas, and turning off LED lights to mitigate the issue. However, none of these fully solve the problem. Some, fearing they’re violating halacha, go even further and unplug their alarm systems entirely before Shabbos. While this ensures compliance, it also leaves their homes, businesses, and families completely exposed—for 25 hours or even longer—posing a massive security risk.

The Good News? A Revolutionary Solution Exists.

One that balances strict adherence to halacha with uncompromised security.

Meet the Kosher Shabbos Alarm System

What makes this system different? It’s the first-of-its-kind alarm system specifically designed for Shabbos. Certified by leading rabbis, it ensures your home remains protected while respecting every halachic guideline.

Here’s How It Works:

A True Shabbos Mode: Unlike regular systems, the kosher alarm has a dedicated Shabbos mode. It neutralizes motion sensors that would otherwise detect activity and send electronic signals. But it doesn’t stop there.

Selective Activation: Need certain areas secure? No problem. You can program the system to keep specific zones active while others are deactivated. For example:

  • Want to lock down a storage room or safe you won’t use on Shabbos? Done.
  • Prefer to keep your windows and main doors Alarmed? Easy.

Fire and Carbon Monoxide Detection: Safety comes first. Even in Shabbos mode, essential detectors remain active. That means your home stays protected against fires or gas leaks without compromising halacha.

Why This Matters

Without a kosher system, you face two choices:
1) Leave your alarm on and risk violating halacha.
2) Turn it off and leave your property vulnerable.

Neither is ideal. This system solves both problems.

But Wait… Is It Really Kosher?

Some might ask: How can an alarm system work on Shabbos without violating halacha?

Here’s the secret: It’s all in the mechanics. Instead of activating alarms by breaking circuits (a halachic issue), the kosher system uses pre-programmed modes. All adjustments—like deactivating sensors—are set before Shabbos. On Shabbos itself? No manual input. No halachic violations.

Addressing Common Concerns

💬 “I don’t trust technology on Shabbos.”
That’s understandable. But this system was designed under the guidance of expert halachic authorities. Every detail was vetted to ensure compliance.

💬 “What if there’s an emergency?”
The system prioritizes life-saving measures. Fire and carbon monoxide detectors remain active, even in Shabbos mode. Your family’s safety comes first.

💬 “I don’t need an alarm. My neighborhood is safe.”
Is it really? Burglaries don’t wait for convenient times. Leaving your home unsecured, even for one day, can have devastating consequences.

A Glimpse Into the Halachic Background

To fully appreciate this innovation, let’s delve into the halachic principles at play.

📌 Electric Circuits and Shabbos: Closing or opening an electric circuit is viewed as either boneh (building) or soter (tearing down). By allowing electricity to flow, you’re essentially “activating” a new device. That’s why even deactivated alarm systems pose a problem—the sensors still detect activity.

📌 The Concept of Molid: Molid refers to creating a new state or property, like melting ice into water. Activating an electric circuit falls into this category because it generates new physical phenomena—such as light or heat.

📌 Rabbinic Rulings on Security Systems: Leading rabbis have long grappled with modern technology and Shabbos observance. Many agree: Conventional alarm systems, even “off” ones, are problematic. That’s why the kosher system’s unique design—with pre-programmed Shabbos modes—is groundbreaking.
