This Shabbat we have the unique opportunity to truly experience 24 hours of rest. Christmas is the one holiday where most folks are indoors, spending the day with family. The shops close, traffic slows, quiet sets in. Is this what a typical Shabbat in an observant neighborhood in Jerusalem feels like?
We’re thankful for the coincidence and wish all our readers a restful, relaxing and rejuvenating Shabbat!
