Shabbat
For thousands of years, Shabbat has been the centerpiece of the Jewish week, a time when Jewish communities have come together to reaffirm identity, establish goals and strengthen bonds of love and concern. At its best, the experience is both relaxing and stimulating, and the air is filled with harmonious music and challenging dialog. There are times when we join together to raise our voices in unison and others when we each reflect on more private concerns. Always, however, we are here to support one another, in friendship and in love.
