Dear all,

There’s an ingredient we love to use each week when preparing our Shabbat dinner. You can’t find it at the supermarket or at the boutique eateries or online.

It’s a special ingredient called “Shabbat spice,” and it adds incredible layers to our Shabbat experience.

Shabbat spice appears whenever we prepare together.

While our household has eight hands, you might be in a home on your own. You can still add Shabbat spice by putting out photos, video-chatting a friend, or utilizing a family heirloom.

Adding Shabbat spice each week creates a sacred moment in time to transform the ordinary into the holy! How will you add Shabbat spice this week?

With love and Shalom,

Rabbi Zach Shapiro
