Did you know there’s a halacha about Friday meals before Shabbat?

The goal is to avoid heavy meals too close to Shabbat so we can come to the Shabbat table with appetite and excitement.

Instead, the Mishnah Berurah recommends tasting the Shabbat foods earlier in the day and that way enhancing both our anticipation and awareness of the Shabbat experience.

According to Rabbi Nachman the Jewish mystical teachings connect freeing hostages with the blessing of children and building faithful homes.

In this powerful insight, Rebbe Nachman teaches that helping to release hostages is a sacred responsibility, one shared even by the greatest of leaders.

The hope?

That those freed can rebuild their lives, create trusting families, and bring us closer to redemption.

A beautiful reminder of the power of compassion and action to shape our world.

Hospitality isn’t just about opening your home—it’s about opening your heart.

On the Sabbath, we have the chance to warm not only bodies but souls, sharing connection, love, and belonging.

Hosting guests isn’t a favor; it’s a gift we all share. 🌟

B"H What keeps the Jewish connection to the Land of Israel so strong?

Despite every challenge, we hold fast to the divine promise in Leviticus that we will dwell securely and in peace.

B"H Emotions are running high as we approach the hostage deal. The morning blessing, ‘Who frees the imprisoned,’ has a profound meaning today. Let’s pray with extra Kavana today for the hostages being reunited with their families.

But for the families of those who are not coming home, the pain remains unimaginable. This moment is bittersweet, a blend of relief and heartache, hope and grief.

We hold space for every life impacted and pray for a future where no more lives are torn apart, no more hostages taken, and healing and salvation can begin for all.

May we see the day when peace and redemption become the reality for all of Am Yisrael and the world. #hostage #hostagedeal #amyisrael #israel #pray #daven #redemption #peace #hope #blessing #pain #hashem #jewish

Pause. Breathe. Pray.

Amid the chaos,

let’s lift our eyes and hearts to heaven.

Take a moment to recite Psalm 121 and bring light into the darkness. Together, we can balance action with faith.

Here is the secret to lasting habits!

Treat them as both an obligation and a joy.

Transforming hobbies into lasting habits starts with a shift in mindset.

By embracing the Jewish wisdom of ‘chiyuv’ (obligation) and ‘chiba’ (affection), we learn to treat the things we love with the same importance as our duties.

When we approach our passions with both commitment and care, they become an integral part of our lives.
