This month, the URJ's
Eilu V'Eilu online publication, a point/counterpoint dialogue between two scholars providing for active participation from readers, focused on Shabbat, and attempted to answer the following questions:
What
does Shabbat mean for today's Reform Jews? What Jewish values,
perspectives and language define and describe our commitment to Shabbat
observance? When observing Shabbat, how do we incorporate both
individual experience and building relationships within our
communities? How might Reform congregational culture change to
accommodate both individual and community practices?

Michelle Shapiro Abraham and Jim Ball by clicking on the links below. After you've read them, we'd love to hear your comments!
