I am who I am thanks to Shabbat. Due to this biblically mandated institution, I have peace of mind, a flourishing community, a great relationship with my family and a career where I traverse the country singing its praises. All this benefit for just taking a day off! The Torah emphasizes Shabbat more than any other ritual because it provides the most profound physical, financial and emotional evidence that one is serious about a relationship with God. I discovered prioritizing Shabbat is the benchmark, the golden ticket, the minimum deposit required to open a high yield spiritual bank account. In my new neighborhood, Shabbat was joyous, intellectually invigorating and united all age groups.

Firstly, I want to make it clear that I never had the privilege to attend a Reform synagogue, and that therefore I have no practical experience at all regarding this topic. So why would I write about it? Well, I considered myself to be a Reform Jew for some time, but always found myself in places where there was only an Orthodox Jewish community. Therefore the only point of contact between me and the Reform movement was through their website, and Rabbi Rick Jacobs’s podcast (On the Other Hand: Ten Minutes of Torah). However, Now that this podcast is not being updated anymore (since June 15th, 2020) because of financial problems within the organization (2020) I found myself question
