If you are like me, a secular Jew who is starting to observe mitzvahs, this episode is for you!

In Shabbat 101, you will hear about the primary steps to observing Shabbat  - candle lighting, kiddush, hand washing and challah - and hopefully you will learn from my mistakes! I share very interesting historical and traditional information, as well, and explanation for why we observe commandments the way we do. 

Mentions:

Mitzvahs: Candle lighting, kiddush, hand washing, challah

baal teshuvah (master of return)

Song “The Shabbat Queen” by Ḥayyim Naḥman Bialik
