About Our Learning Materials – Shabbat, A Holy Gift

“And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy.” Genesis 2:3

Shabbat. Each week we have the opportunity to gather together, to find comfort, to restore our souls. Shabbat is a reminder to create space in our lives for what is most important and sacred, to affirm our part in make the world more whole. Shabbat is a gift. How do we create this holy gift each week? How might we deepen our understanding and practice of Shabbat? This year, journey with your Sh’ma group through learning materials which explore different aspects of Shabbat. You will discuss prayers, ancient and modern interpretations, reflections from Temple clergy and more.

As always, if you have any questions, please be in touch with Alexandra Horn (ahorn@tedallas.org) or Rabbi Kim Herzog Cohen (kherzogcohen@tedallas.org)
