After a long week of work, a great practice to transition into Shabbat is to reflect on what we’re grateful for from the week past. It’s a way to honor the week, close that chapter, and enter into a new one: Shabbat.

Interestingly, the original hebrew word for Jew is Yehudi which comes from the Hebrew word Todah or “thanks”. Judaism regularly offers us an opportunity to walk with gratitude in our hearts and minds. In this guide we invite you to bring some thankfulness to your Friday night practice with new ritual meditations, conversations, and hands-on ideas.
