Shabbat Shuva Guide

Falling between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, Shabbat Shuvah (the Shabbat of Return) ushers in a unique opportunity to reflect on the year that passed and welcome in the year to come. Some folks consider this to be Shabbat Teshuvah, the Shabbat of Repentance — a prevalent theme during the Days of Awe and High Holidays. The Hebrew words teshuvah and shuvah are actually very closely related, with both returning to our true selves. This OneTable guide will help you host a Friday night dinner on Friday, October 4, to delve into what some consider the most important Shabbat of the year: the first of the Hebrew year and right before Yom Kippur.
