So I don't foget...

We just finished services...

Jerry led services tonight, and at one point he stopped to explain (I have no idea about the source) that Shabbat is a time to rejoice.

I didn't digest fully. But then I got it, and realized I'd never thought about it before.

Shabbat is a time, as opposed to a place or an event. Nothing marks it but time.

Instead of the creation, it's the moment of creation.

We should recognize the holiness of time, rather than the thing marking it.

Pretty neat. even if I'm not saying it as well as Jerry.
