The Ark is the most holy place in the synagogue, and for this reason, faces an Eastern wall to symbolize where the "Holy City" of Jerusalem once stood. The Ark is read during special prayers in times of  worship. ]]> 2017-08-31 15:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/5707039238/shabbat/wish/183991576 OBSERVANCE marshallsachi https://padlet.com/5707039238/shabbat/wish/183991743 Shabbat is a weekly holiday lasting 25 hours. It begins just before sundown on Friday and ends nightfall of Saturday. The purpose of observing Shabbat is to be reminded of the purposefulness of the world and the role of humans inside it. Jews can celebrate Shabbat in a private setting, such as the home, or a public setting, like a synogogue. ]]> 2017-08-31 15:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/5707039238/shabbat/wish/183991743 RITUALS 5707039238 https://padlet.com/5707039238/shabbat/wish/183994396
During a Shabbat holy day, normal routines are performed, but after sunset, candles are lit and the blessing is said to welcome the start of Shabbat. After blessing, Kosher meals are eaten and Havdalah is marked at the end of the meal. This fulfills Mitzvah, or creating a bond between the Jewish people and God on the day of rest.]]> 2017-08-31 15:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/5707039238/shabbat/wish/183994396 WHAT IS SHABBAT 5707039238 https://padlet.com/5707039238/shabbat/wish/183995933 Shabbat is one of the most important instances in the Ten Commandments. What distinguishes Shabbat from normal prayer at a synagogue is the elaborate eating for "a day of rest." For this reason, Shabbat is viewed as a holiday, despite being every week. ]]> 2017-08-31 15:58:46 UTC https://padlet.com/5707039238/shabbat/wish/183995933 FOOD marshallsachi https://padlet.com/5707039238/shabbat/wish/183996527 Shabbat begins with the host reciting Kiddush, a blessing, while holding a cup of wine and after the blessing everyone present takes a sip from the glass. Immediately after everyone will go to the sink and wash their hands prior to eating a piece of challah, which is Jewish leavened bread. A traditional Shabbat meal includes 4 courses, beginning with a fish course, then soup, then a meat or chicken meal and ending with dessert. It has becoome more common to only serve one-course, but the meal will always be large, so come hungry! ]]> 2017-08-31 16:00:32 UTC https://padlet.com/5707039238/shabbat/wish/183996527 DRESS marshallsachi https://padlet.com/5707039238/shabbat/wish/184233358 Shabbat dress code is that of a typical dinner party.

It is polite  
to not use your phone, nor take pictures with it. In addition, Do not turn off the lights on Shabbat because according to Jewish religious laws, there should be no kindling of fire. For functional reasons, the lights must stay on to see, yet turning them off would be considered "kindling of fire." After the meal, grace will be suggested to all. ]]> 2017-09-01 15:31:09 UTC https://padlet.com/5707039238/shabbat/wish/184234166 HISTORY OF SHABBAT marshallsachi https://padlet.com/5707039238/shabbat/wish/184237992 The 4th commandment states that God has commanded the Jewish people to observe the sabbath in remembrance of how He rested after the 6th day of creating the heavens and earth. Therefore, Shabbat is celebrated every seventh day. ]]> 2017-09-01 15:43:02 UTC https://padlet.com/5707039238/shabbat/wish/184237992 SHABBAT IN "The Chosen" 5707039238 https://padlet.com/5707039238/shabbat/wish/184570115
Throughout the novel, every seventh day, Shabbat was a tradition that Reuven and his father participated in. During this, David Malter would often teach Reuven stories about God, or lessons for their religion. Even in times where Reuven stayed with Hasidic Jewish families, like Danny's, Shabbat served as a way to bring people and God together.
