And others allow you to use the lights, just not turn them on and off.
Apparently the institution of the shabbas goy, who takes care of various
functions of opening and closing the synagogue, is quite old, thought I
don't know if it's period. Someone told me that since certain things have
to be out of one's possession during Passover, there is a custom of
storing them in a shed and nominally selling them to the shabbas goy for
Passover, to be sold back at the end of the holiday.

Ob food content: At the end of Passover, how would a Jewish woman re-start
her leavened bread? Would she buy starter/beer barm from a goyim merchant,
or make up a new starter from scratch?
