Shabbat

Shabbat is the celebration of sacred time. Shabbat means “to stop” and helps each of us pause and express gratitude for our blessings. Shabbat is a time for simply stopping from our hectic lives and enjoying the blessings of a 24-hour rest and reflection. Our Shabbat recipes can be made in advance — some hot and some cold — so you can enjoy a delicious Shabbat dinner or healthy Shabbat luncheon. We also have fun DIY projects to involve your children and grandchildren in the weekly Shabbat ritual.
