Shabbat
Shabbat, the day of rest, is considered the most important Jewish holiday -- and it happens every week! Begining at dusk on Friday and lasting until sunset the following evening, Shabbat is a time for Jewish individuals and families to relax and recenter, shifting focus from the stress of the work-week to the pleasures of home, family, community, and spirituality.
