From Aleph:
Shabbat is a Mishkan (a sanctuary) in time. A Mishkan is a dwelling place for Divine Presence. And it is the nexus point between the finite world and the Infinite. On Shabbat we have the opportunity to open the doors between worlds, receive the gifts of our souls and return renewed, refreshed, re-created. Shabbat is a joyful time that is dedicated to Love. We take time away from our busy lives to focus our attention on the heart and to open up the places of silence and spaciousness within us. In this Shabbat Retreat we will enter into the Mysteries of Love through the practices of chant, meditation, sacred conversation and the sanctification of pleasure.

Despite receiving hate for months because of the owners' support for the Palestinian cause, more than 1,300 people lined up around the block for a Jewish Sabbath meal hosted by Ayat Palestinian restaurant in Brooklyn. #NewYork#Jews#Palestinians#Israel#Gaza#Shabbat#Ayat
"The restaurant reaching out to the Jewish community and saying we want to give back, and inviting Jewish people: I think it’s tremendous,” Howard Edelbaum said, over a plate of fish and rice"
"Since early December, anti-#Israel demonstrators have held regular protests on the bridge leading to Armour Heights, referred to by some protestors as a “#Zionist-infested area.” They paraded with placards, including #swastikas, photos of #Hitler and other #antisemitic content, set off smoke bombs, and festooned the sides of the overpass with #Palestinian flags and banners, all of which could dangerously distract drivers below traveling at high speeds on Highway 401, or, even worse, fall on unsuspecting motorists. During their rallies, often held on Saturdays when many local residents walk to nearby #synagogues or are at home for #Shabbat, protestors used loudspeakers to bellow their incendiary chants."

Pretty drained. Relaxing, listening to the new #zappa “Over-nite Sensation” box set, free drawing on my iPad, and playing with the cats. #Shabbat shalom.
"David Greenfield, CEO of the Met Council and a prominent #Jewish leader, said the protesters, granted access to an event they knew was not #Israel-related, took advantage of the organizers’ welcome “to spread #antisemitic propaganda and stoke fear for those of us who were there to celebrate #Shabbat.”
“This was clearly not about Israel because this was not an Israel event,” Greenfield explained, noting that the organization is the nation’s largest Jewish anti-poverty charity fighting poverty in and beyond the Jewish communities, including providing more than 1.2 million pounds in free Halal food to over 20 Halal food pantries last year. “This was a clear attempt by Pro-#Palestinians to scare and intimidate us on Shabbat because we’re Jewish. This is old fashion antisemitism and is exactly what they mean when they chant ‘globalize the #intifada’”
