Soon the Sabbath will be descending on Katsrin & the Golan Heights of Israel. This is the first Sabbath which Jan & I will celebrate with a full Sabbath Table. Last erev Shabbat we had only scrambled eggs and challah---no candles, no wine (because we didn't have a corkscrew, even though we had an excellent bottle of wine from the Golan...). But we were blessed with a Sabbath rest that erased all the fatigue of our weeklong journey.
This night we have wine for our new kiddush cup, sweet white peaches, and candles that don't quite fit our new candleholders... What else can we do but rejoice, laugh, and give the Lord thanks for quite a week. So to all of you back there in Maine...Shabbat Shalom. Baruch

Sweet Sweet Shabbat. Whether there be challah or no challah, wine or no wine, candles or only those lit in our soul, we rejoice in the sweetness that is Shabbat. Be blessed.
