In this short video, Rabbi Noa Kushner encourages people to use Shabbat – and particularly, candle lighting- as an opportunity to “unplug” from the distractions and tasks of daily life in order to connect to their values, their selves and the people they love. She created this video as part of The Sabbath Manifesto, a creative project designed to slow down lives in an increasingly hectic world with the help of 10 core principles, one of which is lighting candles. They have called for “The National Day of Unplugging” on the Shabbat of March 9-10, 2018.
