  1. Shabbat Shalom Friends 🕯️🕯️

    This marks the 51st Shabbat in a row that I have had the privilege of sharing your beautiful photos and messages in response to my weekly Shabbat greeting. Fifty one weeks. Which means next Friday will be one full year, and it will also be the last Shabbat Shalom montage.

    I want to sit with that for a moment before I say anything else.

    This tradition started on Facebook, and it grew so quietly beautiful that I began sharing it everywhere I am. Not because it needed a bigger audience, but because something this simple deserves to be seen.

    What began as a simple post has become one of the most meaningful things I do. Week after week you brought light into this space. Candles on your tables. Family gathered close. Quiet corners of your homes on a Friday evening. Some of you have been here since the very first one, and some of you joined along the way, and every single image made this what it became.

  2. Shabbat Shalom Friends 🕯️🕯️

    This marks the 50th Shabbat in a row that I have shared your beautiful photos and messages in response to my weekly greeting. Fifty weeks. What began as a simple post has become one of my favorite traditions, and that is entirely because of you.

    And this one arrives with something special. We have entered Elul, the final month of the Hebrew year, the quiet stretch of reflection before everything begins again. A month made for exactly what you already do here every week. Pausing. Looking inward. Reaching toward each other.

    Reading your comments has become one of my favorite ways to welcome Shabbat. If I ever miss responding it is never intentional, sometimes comments get hidden, but I always feel the spirit behind them 💙

    You give me the gift of sharing my passion for teaching Hebrew and for community.

    Wishing you a peaceful and meaningful Shabbat, and a beautiful start to Elul.

    Shabbat Shalom 💙

  3. 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.

  4. Shabbat Shalom Friends 🕯️🕯️

    This marks the 49th Shabbat in a row that I’ve had the privilege of sharing your beautiful photos and messages in response to my weekly Shabbat greeting. What began as a simple post has grown into something far more meaningful than I ever imagined.

    And here is what moves me most about it. Not everyone in this community observes Shabbat. Some of you light candles every Friday night as your family has for generations. Some of you come from a different faith entirely. Some of you are simply here for the language, or the culture, or because something in this corner of the internet feels like a good place to land at the end of a long week. And every single one of you belongs here.

    Week after week, you bring light, warmth, and connection into this space. Seeing the images you share, whether candles, tables, family moments, or quiet reflections, has turned this into a truly special tradition for our community.

  9. 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 🤍

  10. Those who've been following me for a while probably know my favorite #restaurant in #München - the #EclipseGrillbar. Fabulous #food: grilled meat or fish, vegan mezze, you name it. Selected #cocktail creations among the finest ever to taste. And such a wonderful atmosphere.

    There's been an arson attack last night. Nobody has been physically hurt.

    #Eclipse stays open.

    You. Will. Not. Frighten. Us.

  11. We’re good at the noise. The planning, the preparing, the being “on.” We’re good at busyness and momentum.

    But the quiet after? That’s when the real feelings show up.

    That’s when you process what actually happened - not what you were trying to make happen, but what actually happened.

    And most of us run from it.

    We scroll. Plan the next thing. Turn on the TV. Create new noise.

    Because the quiet feels dangerous. Lonely. Too much.

    But here’s what I’ve learned:
    The quiet after is where the truth lives.

    It’s where you feel what you actually felt - not what you were supposed to feel, but what you actually felt.

    The noise protects you from knowing. The quiet reveals.

    Sometimes it reveals disappointment, grief, exhaustion. Sometimes gratitude you didn’t have time to feel. Pride in what you did. Clarity about what matters.

    The quiet doesn’t just reveal hard things. It reveals true things.

    Shabbat Shalom 💙

  12. This isn’t a race. Transformation takes time — not 10 days, not a deadline.

    The High Holidays call us inward: reflect, repent, commit. But lasting change is slow, gentle, step by step.

    So if you’re overwhelmed — pause. Breathe. Let Shabbat remind you that rest is holy, presence is enough, and you have time.
