ShabbatUK: Fifty Weeks and counting!

There are just fifty weeks to go until ShabbatUK 2017. Time is fast running out for making your preparations. 

If you still don’t have any plans for this wonderful Shabbat, click here to see what events are taking place. It’s not too late to join in the celebrations (or if you’re playing host, to squeeze in another invitation). 

ShabbatUK is just around the corner, (or just the other side of Sukkos, to be precise). 

Here are a couple of tips that will put you on the path to success:

 - If you haven’t started planning how you will be part of this gigantic step forward for Yiddishkeit (Lit. Judaism), what are you waiting for?

Enrol into one of the many learning sessions that are springing up in your area - geared to coincide with this communal event. For more information contact your Start Your Day the Torah Way in your area (if you can’t find the details, contact me by eMail or on my mobile number as shown below).

- Give 'em a taster: invite your as-yet- non-Frum neighbours, work colleagues or distant family members into your Sukkah on Chol HaMo’ed (the in-between days between the first and the final days of the Yomtef).

The benefits of doing so is twofold:

a) They will not travel on Shabbos or Yom Tov and

b) You will be able to give them a non-restricted experience of how it feels to be with Frummers, without too many strings attached...

Here is an idea that can easily be implemented: Put up a “ShabbatUK” poster in your Sukkah, to act as a reminder - and to remind others - to prepare for it.

One of the many ways to begin the ShabbatUK experience is to book a place at the Great Challah Bake follow the advertisements in the press and online.

If any of the above doesn’t seem to work for you, just add something to your own Shabbos  experience, be it either during Davening (prayers), Leyning (Reading of the Bible) the Se’udos (meals)  like a Devar Torah (learning) or Zemiros (songs) or enliven someone else’s Shabbos by paying a short  visit.
