To our global and incredible Olami community. It's been a tough week for everyone. Tough news. Phone bleeping incessantly with increasing numbers, more lives at risk. More negativity. Let's take some time to pause. For some serenity. Let's recognize the beautiful opportunity presented to us by Shabbat, our day of rest. Let's each do something to celebrate Shabbat together, even though we are physically far apart. Bake / buy challah ready before sundown Set candles to be lit Set wine or grape jui

Need inspiration in these challenging times? Learn the meaning and mysticism of the Jewish connection to light and fire and the power of lighting shabbat candles each week. Join us & light candles on Friday, then post to encourage others to do the same | Olami
