We are only hours away from Shabbat, the day of rest. Even God rested after all of the work of Creation. There are many different ways in which families and individuals approach the commandment of observing and keeping Shabbat, however it remains that Shabbat can be an excellent reminder of the ways in which we attempt to bring balance into the various segments of our life - work, family, social life, school, and so much more. Try something new this week to bring a little rest into your lives - perhaps your television will stay off for 25 hours (there are no playoff games scheduled, so even fervent Yankee fans can manage this one) or maybe it is finding an activity to do as an entire family (my favorite is Apples to Apples - there is even a Jewish version!).
Embedded below is an amazing video I found last year on YouTube - if you've ever wanted to branch out into new challah horizons, try braiding it with six strands. The video below makes it easy as pie.
