I went to kabbalat shabbat at an Aussie shul (reform) for the first time last week. After services, in addition to challah and pastries and tiny glasses of wine, they had hard liquor (gin, vodka, and scotch) which I have never seen before at an American shul. Is this an Aussie thing? Did I just go to square shuls in the US? Is it more common in other denominations?

Does your synogogue normally provide hard liquor at the oneg?

yes

no

I thought about trying to divide results by region or flavor of judaism but it seemed to complicated. Lmk in the replies or comments.

honestly it really sucks that you’re only ever allowed to play board games and read books on Shabbas. Like it’s a real shame I gotta learn the sugya and make sure it’s not a random chumra invented by the achronim

Shabbas is the seventh day of the week, the day that God rested after creating the world. We follow God's example by resting on Shabbas after working all week.

Relax. Sleep in. Practice self-care. Take time to yourself. Spend time with family and friends. Eat a good meal. However you celebrate Shabbas, make it special. Make it yours. Let the holiness of Shabbas fill your body as well as your soul.

OVER SATURDAY

WHICH MY JEWISH PEEPS KNOW IS LIKE A HOLY SABBATH DAY

GUESS WHICH SONG WAS STUCK IN MY HEAD

THAT SONG IDK WHERE IT’S FROM BUT IT’S LIKE 

“if you’re gay then you’re gay if you’re straight well that’s great!”

AND IT WAS STUCK IN MY HEAD WHILE MY FAMILY WAS BEING LIKE GOOD JEWS AND SHIT AND I WANTED TO CRY
