 Shabbat
"And you shall keep the
Sabbath day and make it holy" (Ten Commandments - #4) Shabbat is
a gift. Set apart from the constant movement of the work-week, the
Sabbath is an island of rest, family and inner-peace. It has helped
to build communities, strengthen families, and revitalize the spirit.
In fact, it is often said that "more than the Jews keep Shabbat,
Shabbat keeps the Jews."
