#shabbat — Public Fediverse posts

Ώπα! 💣

"A #Melbourne #Greek #restaurant has rejected online hate and a #bomb threat after hosting a joint #Jewish-Greek cultural evening.

On #Facebook, the owner insists it will keep bringing the communities together. Last Friday the #MediterraneanGreekTavern in #Elsternwick staged a night that mixed the two traditions.

Guests dressed in white, #challah sat beside Greek dishes, prayers were said, and a #bouzouki band played #HavaNagila alongside music from #ZorbatheGreek.

The dinner marked six months of #Shabbat Club #Australia.

[...]

Earlier nights have been held at other Melbourne spots. Friday’s larger gathering had a long waiting list.

The next day the restaurant posted warmly about the young crowd. Supportive replies came first, then a surge of abuse via #socialmedia.

Commenters called the hosts sell-outs, accused them of supporting “#genocide killers,” urged that #Jews be #deported, and one reportedly openly called for the tavern to be #bombed."

A Shabbat Reflection:

I’m Set, No Gaps

"Every so often, a discovery comes along that reminds us how much of #Jewish #history still lies hidden on library shelves, in forgotten archives, and within private collections. For collectors, scholars, and anyone fascinated by the world of rare #Hebrew #books and #manuscripts, such moments are exceedingly rare. This is one of them.

An entirely unknown, previously unpublished eighteenth-century #Kabbalistic #manuscript has surfaced from a private collection and has now been officially consigned for sale through #Mizrahi #Bookstore. More than simply another #handwritten volume, this remarkable #codex opens an extraordinary window into the formative years of #Lurianic #Kabbalah in Eastern #Europe, decades before these teachings became widely available in print.

The manuscript is a unique recension of the Lurianic #Kavvanot, the intricate mystical intentions associated with prayer, for #Shabbat and the Jewish festivals. Dated to 1717[...]"

One of my favorite expressions in Hebrew is:

כְּשֶׁיֵּשׁ סָפֵק אֵין סָפֵק

/k-she-’yesh sa-’fek ’e(y)-n sa-’fek/

When in doubt, there is no doubt.

The doubt itself is often the answer.

We spend so much time trying to talk ourselves out of what we already know. Looking for reassurance. Hoping someone else will make it feel right.

But doubt is not the same as fear.

Some of the best decisions I’ve ever made scared me. They pushed me beyond my comfort zone and into growth. Fear can be part of something wonderful.

Doubt feels different. It’s quieter. Heavier. It doesn’t demand attention. It simply waits for you to listen.

The more you learn to recognize the difference, the clearer life becomes.

Your intuition usually knows long before your mind catches up.

כְּשֶׁיֵּשׁ סָפֵק אֵין סָפֵק

When in doubt, there is no doubt.

Shabbat Shalom,

Inbal 🤍

Sorry, but #Trump doesn't get to tell Jews what to do.

I say that we should not observe Shabbat on May 15-16 out of "gratitude for our great nation," (because nationalism is idolatry) but rather for very different reasons --- as a day of living into a different set of values, ones that escew nationalism and war. #Shabbat should never be used as an excuse to bow the knee to a tyrant.

Excerpt: Throughout this historic year, we rejoice in the triumph of the American spirit and rededicate ourselves to the cause of liberty and justice for all. In special honor of 250 glorious years of American independence and on the weekend of Rededicate 250 — a national jubilee of prayer, praise, and thanksgiving — Jewish Americans are encouraged to observe a national Sabbath. From sundown on May 15 to nightfall on May 16, friends, families, and communities of all backgrounds may come together in gratitude for our great Nation. This day will recognize the sacred Jewish tradition of setting aside time for rest, reflection, and gratitude to the Almighty.

Why does Shabbat have to start so late? I go to bed at 9:00 but I'm going to have to stay up late for the candles to burn out, and stay up late for havdala tomorrow.

:two_candles: Shabbos begins at 8:19 and ends at 9:26!

Happy #Hanukkah and #Shabbat shalom! Tonight is bright.

The #wine is unfortunately not kosher. It's Chateau Bellevue Favereau Bordeauax Supérieur, a mix of Merlot and Cabernet.

Shabbat Mikeitz starts at 15:42 in London today. Shabbat shalom and Hanukah sameach to everyone.

With Hanukkah approaching, I can’t help but think about the miracles we’re taught to believe in — and how much we need one now.

And then my husband drew the most beautiful dreidel on my teaching board, and I knew I had to share it with you.

We need the miracle of bringing our hostages back to safety, the miracle of peace in a world that feels so broken, and the miracle of finding our way back to sanity, where hatred doesn’t blind us to our shared humanity.

I feel the weight of it all, but I also feel the resilience we carry as a people.

Just like the small flicker of oil that burned for eight nights, I believe our light can outlast the darkness.

Shabbat Shalom שבת שלום 💙🤍
