Just saved the cookout because of Judaism! Needed to light the grill, everyone had a hard time finding a lighter at the airbnb, but *I* had matches bc we'll be here over Shabbes
Experiencing the magic of Shabbat is a gift like no other, and this guide is here to help you on your journey. Whether you're new to Shabbat observance or seeking to deepen your connection to this ancient tradition, the Jewitches digital guide is your ultimate companion. Featuring Hebrew, English, and English transliterations for all your favorite prayers (so you can recite with confidence and joy!)
From candle lighting to blessing the wine, our step-by-step instructions will walk you through each aspect of the Shabbat experience.
But it is also so much more than just a how-to manual—With discussions of history, tradition, spirituality, and the multitude of practices found across the Diaspora, we dive into the rich history and significance of Shabbat. Learn about the different greetings (in various Diasporic tongues!), kippot, and familial blessings that have been held dear by Jewish communities for generations.
With over 30 pages of content, whether you’re looking for a simple guide to the various brachot recited on Kabbalat Shabbat or have questions about what you’re supposed to do all day without work, this guide is for you!
This is for anyone seeking the magic of Shabbat; for Jews who wish to have the prayers in their hands with transliterations; for those who need a way to explain to their loved ones the magic of Shabbat; For those who wish to find new ways to connect with HaShem.

“For as long as Jews have kept Shabbat, Shabbat has kept the Jews.”

Jewish man on Shabbes in Galicia, eastern Poland, early 20th century
Here's something that needs to be addressed here.
Another hole in this "Israel started it" narrative:
Israel shuts down major transportation means on Saturdays (October 7th landed on a Saturday). This means planes are grounded, airports are closed, stores and post offices are closed, farmers rest at home and not even the military is permitted to fire guns or rockets - so no military drills on Saturday!
The only people who drive and do work are mainly non-religious citizens and non-Jews (Arabs included). The only city that doesn't sleep is Tel Aviv.
So either someone is lying and didn't do their homework properly, OR someone else knew Jews would be sitting ducks that day.

It's Shabbos Bereshis! The beginning! Another one! I love that Judaism is full of new beginnings.
