Secular Sabbath?

March 10, 2008
Last week,
nytimes.gif published an article about one journalists foray in the world of secular sabbath.  You can read the article and then let us know what you think. In what ways is this "secular sabbath" the same as our Jewish understanding of Shabbat? In what ways is it different? If you adopt a "secular sabbath", are you also fulfilling the mitzvah of Shomer Shabbes, keeping the sabbath?

What do you think?

We invite everyone to join the conversation about observing Shabbat today. This is the place to discuss everything from ways to celebrate at home to our relationship with God and Jewish community, as well as recipes and Jewish art projects - all in the context of Shabbat.
