Mormons and Jews Celebrate the Sabbath Across America and Canada — March 4, 2011

“And he commanded them that they should observe the sabbath day, and keep it holy, and also every day they should give thanks to the Lord their God.” – Mosiah 18:23 [Book of Mormon]

Many thanks to fellow LDS-Jewish blogger ” title=”before”>before about the importance of the Sabbath day in both the Jewish and Mormon traditions, and can’t think of a better opportunity to promote friendship between our peoples.

To my Jewish readers: please invite an LDS friend or family to accompany you to Sabbath services and to dinner if possible. This is a wonderful opportunity to show them how meaningful Jewish traditions are to you and your family. If you have children, your Mormon friends will have an opportunity to experience a very spiritual moment when you bless them at the table.

To my Mormon readers: if you don’t have a Jewish friend to accompany to services, consult the NJOP’s
