My parents went to Israel over the holidays and they came back with a present for their youngest son (ahem, that is me).
What did they get me? A "kosher" or "shabbos" toothbrush.
The product was designed by Kosher Innovations. They make shabbos lamps, shabbos alarm clocks and more. Because of the strict rules for Shabbos, there are certain laws you have to keep.
The manner in which you brush your teeth on Shabbos is part of that. This toothbrush is designed to make sure you do not break any Shabbos laws while brushing your teeth.
For more details on how it works, see here. I am sure some of you will think it is crazy and ridiculous, but I find it to be clever.

Interesting. I would never have thought that Shabbos would affect something as simple as brushing your teeth. I guess you learn something new everyday.
