Shabat shalom
Posted by jaronreisman on August 4, 2007
Weekend, in Israel this takes place on friday and saturday. Fridayevening is the beginning of Shabat, the day all the jews rest (like god did on the Seventh day after creating the world).The Shabat is for me one of the aspects with main importance in keeping my jewish identity. At home this was the evening the whole family was at home, we rather often had guests and my mother was cooking the finest things. Most important was the warm and cosy atmosphere.In Israel this did not change (however this is not with family of the Netherlands). Sharon and I every week go to family (of her or mine) and enjoy the same rituals we had at home, but at least so important to me, enjoy good food and a very relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.We are getting to the end of the Shabat, and we invited for Sharon’s birthday some people, for whom I am going to make some food. Tomorrow you will be able to read about tonight! Shabat Shalom!
