Shabbat: Madrikh LaYom HaKadosh BaShavua / שבת – מדריך ליום הקדוש בשבוע

Once a week, we receive a gift: a day of holiness and rest, of quiet and family, of an added soul (neshamah yeterah) and delight.

We have a day to look one another in the eye, take a deep breath, and stop the race. To disconnect so we can reconnect. It’s a day that affects the whole week—and, really, our whole lives.

Shabbat: A Guide to the Holiest Day of the Week, by Sivan Rahav-Meir, is for everyone who loves Shabbat and wants to bring more of it into their life. It’s for beginners and more experienced observers, of all ages and backgrounds.

The book is structured as a journey, step by step, from preparing for Shabbat through its conclusion. Alongside the practical guide, it includes stories of people Sivan has encountered, short quotations from Jewish sages throughout the generations, and hundreds of tips and suggestions anyone can put into practice—starting this coming Shabbat.

Shabbat shalom!
