...in the life of the Jew, religious and social life are closely interwoven. There is only a single element of life and all areas of the Jew's existence and activities are embodied in the one Divine thought of God's law. It is particularly in these aspects of "secular" life that religion finds its ultimate fulfillment; the Jew considers them religious in nature, considers them religion itself, and they are therefore an integral part of the Law.
Rabbi SR Hirsch, CW II, 387

I'd love your input. I'm only accepting constructive remarks that I see as adhering to acceptable halachic standards. If there's any question as to what that means, we can clarify.
