What makes Friday night into Shabbat? How does Saturday become Shabbos?
“Shabbat” literally means, “Stop!” Stop running around, stop trying to get stuff done, stop trying to change the world — stop and just be present for a day (or even part of a day). For a beginner, that’s all you need to know.
But for someone looking to up their game and help their family get more out of the Seventh Day, here are a few resources we recommend:
Friday Night and Beyond — An excellent practical how-to guide that will walk you through running your own Shabbat experience.
Shabbos Home — A comprehensive guide to the “stopping” of Shabbat.
Shabbos Kitchen — Since much of Shabbat enjoyment includes food, this volume is a useful companion to the previous one.
Shabbat Shalom!
