Sabbath Lab - Experience the fullness of Sabbath from an Jewish perspective Two Sessions - Feb 11 and 18 at 7:15 pm on Zoom
Lab - and Follow up & Debrief April 8, 7:15 pm
Session 1:
WHAT'S A Shabbat? (an "inside look" at Jewish notions of the sabbath.)
How I learned to stop worrying and love the sabbath.
Personal intro & sabbath journey
In conversation with Rebecca.
Questions from the chat encouraged.
Study and discuss a text about Sabbath in pairs.
Brief text with semi-structured
Return & Discuss thoughts in "large group"
SESSION 2:
HOW Can I Shabbat? (defining, committing to, and learning from a practice) (February 18, 7:15)
Study traditional Jewish definitions / categories of "work."
The concepts of mitzvot ahseh (positive commandments) and mitzvot lo ta'aseh (negative commandments) as well as a sampling of Shabbat-related practices connected with each.
Introduce "Sabbath Lab" concept and concept of "lab partners". Send participants to teams so that each can complete a "pre-lab" where each articulates and commits to a particular practice and write a hypothesis about the spiritual / emotional effects that they imagine this practice will have on them or on their families.
If appropriate: "Lab partners" share email / phone contact info with each other to check in with each other at the end of the sabbath for 10 minutes each week for the next 4 weeks and reflect on what they learned from their practice.
"Large group" participants share their practices and hypotheses with the whole community.
