I'm a minimalist Jew, but on Friday night, I celebrate Shabbat. At sundown, we light candles, say the blessing, and I don't turn on my computer for 24 hours.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I admire the Shabbat tradition, and no matter which faith you are of, there is nothing more wonderful than dedicating a certain day to spend time with your family and loved ones, absent of TV, phone, and other interruptions.
I don't work on my Sabbath. I write five-and-a-half or six days a week.
I don't work Sunday any more... The Sabbath is a very reasonable idea. Otherwise, you work yourself to death.
I remind everybody that the Sabbath was the Jewish gift to civilization.
My Shabbat dinner is not to be reckoned with.
To be honest, when I'm home, every day is a Friday for me. It doesn't really matter what day it is for me. A lot of my friends actually have time off during the week, and so it doesn't prohibit me from enjoying myself when I am home on a Monday or a Tuesday.
Anybody can observe the Sabbath, but making it holy surely takes the rest of the week.
Sunday, I go to church; I take the day off. I rest.
I'm a very ritualistic, routine-oriented person, and I discovered over the years that I love working Monday through Friday.
People may think I'm crazy, but one of the ways I like to wind down my Friday is to get some of our household chores done, whether it's cleaning or doing a big food shop, so the house is all nice for the weekend.
