A Very Special Shabbat Shalom Friends 🕯️🕯
One year.
For fifty two weeks, something quiet and beautiful has been happening on my Facebook page. Every Friday I share a Shabbat greeting, and my community there sends back photographs of Shabbat. I gather them into a montage and send that light back out to everyone.
This week is the last one. And it turned out so lovely that I wanted to share it here too, with all of you, wherever you follow me
Thank you for the candles. The tables set and waiting. The quiet corners of your homes on a Friday evening. You did not just send photographs. You let me see how Shabbat actually lives inside your houses and inside your hearts, and being trusted with that is not a small thing
There is a reason this fit so naturally alongside teaching Hebrew. A language is not really a set of words. It is a way people have found, over thousands of years, to say here I am to one another
Thank you for a year of light.
Shabbat Shalom 💙

Shabbat Shalom Substack Friends 🕯️🕯️
I posted my Shabbat Reflection this morning and invite you to read it.

It centers around the question, “But what if?” that has plagued me for years.
If you’re observing, may your Shabbat be meaningful and restful. Happy weekend to all.

There is something about you that you have learned to say with an apology in front of it. Somebody taught you to.
A woman did that with me a few days ago. We were talking about working together, and she told me that in her previous jobs, she would see what could be better and say so, and it never went well. Then she asked if that was going to be a problem here too
She wasn’t asking. She was warning me
I knew the sentence because I lived it. I was the one who raised the problem nobody wanted raised. I wasn’t trying to be difficult. I just could not ignore what I knew would make the thing truly great. And every time, the temperature dropped a little
The thing she learned to apologize for is the thing greatness is made of
Maybe yours isn’t about work. Are you the one who asks the extra question? Too honest? Too direct? Too invested?
Go back and look at the thing you apologize for. That’s exactly what makes you rare
Shabbat Shalom 💙

On the Israeli ‘Married at First Sight’, a husband told the therapist he was waiting for certainty before letting his guard down.
Her answer belongs on billboards. It won’t happen in that order. You let your guard down first. That’s the only way it can come in.
Every big thing that changed my life happened in the “wrong” order. I jumped before I felt ready.
Ready doesn’t come first. It comes after.
Shabbat Shalom 💙

Then work backward from it. One small choice built around how you want to feel, not just what you think you’re supposed to do.
None of this is about doing more. It’s about choosing on purpose instead of drifting into whatever the day throws at you first.
Small. On purpose. Again tomorrow.
Shabbat Shalom 💙

There is a kind of tired that sleep fixes, and a kind it doesn’t.
When you rest and wake up still carrying the heaviness, that might not be tired at all. That might be empty. And empty does not lift with more sleep. It lifts the moment you stop leaving yourself out.
So this Shabbat, put one small piece of the thing that is truly yours back into your week. The thing you would do even if no one ever knew. Not more sleep. A little more of you. 💙
Shabbat Shalom.

Shabbat shalom from me to you. 🍷
There is something I have carried with me my whole life from Tel Aviv to here and it is this. No matter how full or how heavy the week was, Shabbat arrives and gently tells you to put it down. To pause. To raise a glass to everything you survived and everything you are grateful for.
So here I am glass in hand, wishing you rest that actually feels like rest. A table surrounded by people who know you. And a moment this weekend where you let yourself simply be.
You earned this pause. Take it.

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.

https://www.judaismunbound.com/podcast/episode-447-zvika-krieger
I really liked this episode of the #JudaismUnbound podcast for many reasons. Here are a few (sorry this will be a long ramble), along with some more general HH ( #HighHoliday ) thoughts:
1. It was refreshing to hear Dan & @lexaphus say what I increasingly feel --- a deep disconnect with the theology of much of the traditional Jewish High Holiday liturgy.
2. I never knew about the tradition of "side reading" (bringing other things, including even novels) with one to HH services, so as to be in the room with the community during many of the services, even while one is reading something else. --- Part of me thinks that is a wonderful idea, another part of me feels uneasy about it (but I can't explain why). I'm curious if others have thoughts about or experience with this practice.
3. I forgot who said this (the guest or the hosts), but someone mentioned that it was unfortunate that so many Jews only attend services at the HH's, because they are getting a really distorted view of the idea of "God" from these services, that doesn't reflect the more open conceptualizing of the divine that is more common in many liberal-leaning Jewish #Shabbat services. I strongly agree with this sentiment.
4. I am more strongly feeling that I want to rethink the HH's, but especially Yom Kippur. I won't try reviving the famous "Yom Kippur balls" of the early Jewish anarchists, but there is a part of me that wants to find a way to express some contrariness in a semi-respectful way in how observe YK this year.
5. I'm of course, thinking a lot about Israel/Palestine in the midst of all of this, the horrors of terrorism and war (especially with the one year anniversary of the Hamas attacks and the subsequent war), and the challenges of collective teshuvah (repentance) in the midst of ongoing collective tragedy. These complicated feelings are coloring much of my HH thoughts this year.
6. Thanks to the remodeling of our synagogue here in #OKC, our synagogue is have its services at Crossings-Mayfair (formerly the Mayfair Church of Christ). It is a wonderful welcoming thing for Crossings-Mayfair to do this (and is a conveniently perfect given the COC's long iconoclastic approach to church architecture --- no big crosses, stained glass windows, etc.) --- But there is another part of me that dreads being in a COC-oriented space due to my past not-so-great history in this tradition.
7. My favorite HH of recent years was at the height of the COVID pandemic. We had services early under a Sukkah (erected a month early that year). I know this didn't work for many (as the attendance numbers were much lower than at normal HH services) but I wish there was a local synagogue that offered as many services as possible outdoors. I would be there every week if there were, but I would especially love it during the HH's.
