A sanctuary is a sacred space that is separated from the rest of the world. Similarly, Shabbat is a sanctuary of time separated from the rest of the week.
“The Sabbath creates both time and space for us to stand apart from what is behind us and ahead of us, and allows us a moment to just “be” in both a spiritual and intellectual sense. Shabbat, in its most simplistic form, is a sanctuary in time that allows us to breathe more deeply, think more clearly and talk more truthfully – to one another and ourselves.”

This Shabbat, let’s discuss how we can create our own sanctuaries in time and space to reflect, heal, and grow as we connect and navigate these challenging times together.
