A quick clarification- all the food delivery and cooking was done well before sundown on Shabbat, and I do remember there being pots with lids on them being brought in from someone's home- already prepared and warm.

Achot chavi was correct in the Rabbi's interpretation of the laws- how can it be "less work" for someone to stay with the pt and physically come to the nurse's station to let the nurse know that Yoshi needed something- instead of just pushing a white bell? The act of pushing- using electricity is "work". Fascinating...

Chavi is short for Chavatselet, name of a flower, the daffodil I think.

Actually, Chavi is short for the name Chava. Chava is the Hebrew equivalent of the name Eve (as in Adam and Eve). I have never heard of a Chavatselet before, but it is very possible that Chavi is short for that as well.

Many thanks to the OP for this story!
