However, a closer look reveals a world of permitted activities that can enrich your Shabbat experience. Join our new shabbat afternoon weekly series, where we will learn the Halachot of Shabbat together from inside the sources to demystify the laws and discover the true essence of this holy day. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding and newfound appreciation for the do's, not just the don'ts, that make Shabbat truly special. Come see how amazing your Shabbat can be!
