Celebrating Shabbat creates a 'sanctuary in time' through which you can taste peace, deep joy, and wholeness and from which you are empowered to transform the world. Celebrating Shabbat opens a door to regain your connection to the part of you that is one with Oneness. The point of religious tradition and ritual is not to just know about God, or to mindlessly perform a series of words and actions. It is to reclaim the experience of your own soul, the core of your being that is in union with the Divine. From that Essence you can fulfill your unique purpose in life -- to reveal, in your unique way, the Divine Self that is hidden in your world.
The purposes of this book are:
- To empower you to live with mindfulness, with consciousness. The practice of 'mindful', intentional living does not belong only to Buddhism. This book helps you discover the push for intentional living within Judaism.
- To help you feed your hunger for connection with God and your inherent wholeness
- To give you a foundation, strength, and practice in creating a safer, more peace-filled and life-giving world for all people
- To help you "let God in" your consciousness, your experience, your decisions, your deeds, your home, and your entire life
- To help you recover the treasures of Jewish spirituality that speak powerfully to today's world
- To help you begin and/or deepen your celebration of Shabbat
- To give you a tool to help you continue to expand your celebration and integration of Shabbat experience
I'm so delighted about this Shabbat: A Taste of Wholeness. The content is such a delight. It is a wonderful way of making sure that the tradition gets respected, understood and at the same time, you talk to adults.
Rabbi Zalman Schacter Shalomi / Co-founder and spiritual leader of Jewish Renewal movement, author and teacher
