It is a beautiful article and sounds like something I will look forward to doing...for me it will take...finding a nearby hotel and making appropriate arrangements for a traditional shabbat...still I look forward to sharing with my Jewish siblings and seeing how they welcome the Sabbath Queen (Malkat HaShabbat)!

Is it that the residual Glenn Beck trash still hasn't been taken out? Woebegone then! get rid of it! (and yay! I double dog dare you to put up something anti-christian on your page....cause you sure do find it ever so easy to put up every single anti-Jewish piece of trash that you can find!)
8. SHABBAT

Seculars do not go on sing songs on shabbat. Seculars do not break bread. Seculars prepare shabbat by collecting the nessesary ingrediants for a picnic in the forests. Secularsprepare for shabbat by sleeping in the afternoon that they may go to go-go clubs and dance all night. Seculars do not waste time on prayers to ghosts.
9. My 'shabbat' is on Wednesday when I go kayaking on the river

10. I don't understand
Tina ,   J-M Israel   (08.28.11)
What do seculars have to do with Shabbat??? Why not celebrate Friday ? (we also don't work on FRI in Israel) IF there is an understanding that Shabbat is holy (it is holy from G-D) then you need to adhere to G-D...
