GOLD Shabbat Challenge
EARNS YOU THE GOLD SHABBAT BADGE.
The Torah tells us that on the 7th day of creation, God made the day holy and special, and then rested. And so, Jews around the world make the day holy and special by resting on the 7th day of each week. You probably know about the basic rituals of Shabbat - lighting candles, eating hallah, having a special dinner, and attending services. Shabbat is also a day for personal renewal. As God made the day holy, we do too!
YOUR TASK: This is our challenge to you - to light the Shabbat candles on Friday night and then to spend a full day doing the right thing. That means no mean words, no put-downs, no eye-rolling at your parents, no gossiping ... nothing that hurts someone else! You are going to become God's partner in the world - just as we praise God for making the day holy (מְקַדֵשׁ הַשַׁבָּת m'kadesh hashabbat), you are going to make the day holy by being a better person. Really!
