Shabbat Flow: Transforming Your Work Space Into Your Shabbat Space
- Join one of the many online services happening around the country
- Invite friends together for a Zoom, WhatsApp or Google Hangouts Shabbat dinner or pre-Shabbat get together
- Go totally unplugged and write a letter to a loved one

- Let in some fresh air, move any work materials out of sight and do a quick sweep
- Use dishware/placemats/a tablecloth that have been collecting dust
- Create a festive table setting with flowers or plants
- Light a scented candle or use a diffuser
- Light Shabbat candles – consider adding more than usual this Shabbat to increase the light and warmth of the space
- Change up the lighting
- Change your clothing: maybe something fancier, or cozier, or both?
- Create or find a special Shabbat Spotify playlist to listen to during Shabbat preparation or dinner
- Decide for when and how long you want to turn off your phone – for dinner, after dinner until Saturday morning, for the full 25 hours?
- Try something completely new: rearrange your furniture for your meal, get grounded with a Shabbat picnic on the floor, or create a progressive dinner in different rooms in your home
