after 6 days....
for 6 days....
rushing running moving
beeping dinging ringing
calling writing sending
buying selling shopping
asking wanting getting
buzzing cleaning washing
wiping driving dragging
but then comes Shabbat....
breathing thinking sleeping
resting hoping dreaming
praying believing celebrating
sharing talking reading
connecting learning inspiring
loving holding enjoying
escaping
Shabbat...
The Great Escape

Celebrating Shabbat without TV?
When David (now 5 1/2) was young, we told him he could only watch tv on Shabbat. When we'd visit my parents, they would let him watch tv whenever he wanted, which coined the phrase in our house: "it's always Shabbat at Bubbie and Zeyde's house!" (It raised problems for us one Shabbat that we spent with an Orthodox family. In their house, no tv on Shabbat!)
Now we don't do that anymore. He's old enough to know that there is tv available on other days of the week....and he likes to watch it. But we learned that it is possible to be non-traditional in your observance of Shabbat and make the day very special.
So now we struggle with some special thing to define Shabbat in our house, other than our Friday night dinner activities. I would like something special to do or not do on Saturday as well. I think that this may become easier as my children grow older. It's hard to explain to a 2-year-old and it's hard to be consistent in our house when mommy works on Shabbat!
How does your family observe Shabbat? What are some non-traditional traditions that you've developed to make this day special? Leave me a comment!
