Jewish Moments
Remember & Observe: Shabbat Rituals
What inspiration can we take from our weekly Shabbat rituals to remind us of the hostages? As we celebrate Shabbat, what might we do to remember those who cannot celebrate it fully?
Shabbat is a precious time in Jewish tradition. It is a time for rest and contemplation, when we come together, as a family and in community. As we gather with our own families, we remember those families who have had to spend way too many Shabbatot without the presence of their loved ones, not knowing where they are or what they are going through. Many of the rituals related to Shabbat provide opportunities for us to remember the hostages and pray for their return. Specifically, we will explore the rituals of lighting candles, of blessing the children and the Shabbat table.
