Description

Parshat Vayakhel opens with the command to keep Shabbat. What bout Shabbat is so powerful? What do Chazal mean when they tell us that if one truly keeps Shabbat they can achieve forgiveness for any sin? How does one who feels disconnected link into Shabbat? We discuss the wonder of Shabbat in general and specifically the power of connecting to Shabbat as one people, through community. (Shemot, Vayakhel: U'Vayom HaShvii Yihiyeh Lachem Kodesh, pp. 271-272)
