IN-THE-MIDDLE CHALLENGE: SHABBAT
The IN-THE-MIDDLE CHALLENGE for SHABBAT is based on the special blessing that is right in the middle (well. duh!) of the Amidah.
This blessing reminds us that God created the world, blessed it and made it holy. Then, on the 7th day, God rested, giving us the tradition to rest on Shabbat. The last line in this Shabbat blessing praises God to for making the day holy or special - it ends מְקַדֵשׁ הַשַׁבָּת (m'kadesh haShabbat) ... which is where the In-the-Middle challenge focuses!
