Shabbat dinners can lead to more Jewish engagement. OneTable leads some participants to seek out new Jewish organizations and communities. About 1 in 4 participants say that they’ve adopted new Jewish rituals or practices since their first dinner, and nearly 1 in 3 have sought out new Jewish organizations or communities.
I also read about a new initiative by President Herzog to encourage Shabbos observance by using the Climate Change(tm) angle. Want to cut down on auto emissions? If everyone except for electric vehicle owners stop driving on Shabbos they'll decrease by 1/7! It's quite clever in how it will appeal to seculars.
ReplyDeleteDoes President Herzog observe Shabbos in his personal life?
ReplyDeleteGiven his family history I'd bet there's a token observance. He probably does things to mark the day as special
