A Moment in Time: No Events Today

[additional-authors]
June 3, 2021

Dear all,

So often I look at my calendar to find back to back (and sometimes overlapping) engagements. Rarely is there a gap.

That said, this morning was our last of a few days of vacation. I looked at my watch, and for the first time, EVER, it told me “No Events Today.”

At first, the reality made me a little nervous. But as I settled in to the fact that at least, for this moment in time, I had no obligations, I began to unwind. (Get it… my watch allowed me to unwind!)

For Jews, Shabbat is our sacred day to unwind as a community. But that doesn’t mean we can also observe a personal day to unwind (even if it is on a Wednesday!)

Find that time. Find that space. And make it holy!

With love and shalom,

Rabbi Zach Shapiro
