Joy

“Shabbat is like nothing else. 

Time as we know it does not exist for those twenty-four hours, 

and the worries of the week soon fall away. 

A feeling of joy appears. 

The smallest object, a leaf or a spoon, 

shimmers in a soft light, and the heart opens. 

Shabbat is a meditation of unbelievable beauty.”  

A taste of BCI Shabbat...

Beautiful!

Before this picture was taken, Sydney worked with her "Toranut" group to turn-over the dining hall. New tables, nice silverware, flowers, decorations... all to set a fresh atmosphere for Shabbat!
