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?

Check out the wonderful 4 part dialogue between Michelle Shapiro Abraham and Jim Ball by clicking on the links below.  After you've read them, we'd love to hear your comments!

Part 1 - Opening Statements
Part 2 - Responses
Part 3 - Response to Readers
Part 4 - Closing Statments

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.
