“The Sabbath is the most precious present humankind has received from the treasure house of God.”
― Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel
The weeks between Passover / Easter and Shavuot / Pentecost, offer us 7 weeks — a week of weeks — of reflection and action. This spring, along with our neighbors at St. Michael’s Episcopal Church, we will take part in #TheSabbathChallenge.
#TheSabbathChallenge is an opportunity for our communities to engage with Shabbat / the Sabbath in new ways, both individually and communally. We will study and practice together with our neighbors, and we encourage you, our community members, to experiment with your own Shabbat / Sabbath practices. Come set aside time for holy rest and delight!
Questions? Contact Rabbi Yael Hammerman (rabbiyael@anschechesed.org) or the Rev. Kate Flexer (kflexer@saintmichaelschurch.org) to learn more!
