It’s Shabbat Time
Participants welcomed Shabbat in a warm atmosphere of traditions, stories, and shared cooking, preparing halva for elderly beneficiaries
The “It’s Shabbаt Time” gathering managed to ignite that special spark that continues to warm long after the evening ends - throughout the entire following week.
This time, participants approached the preparation with particular care, and many moments of the evening revolved around halva. During the storytelling circle, the atmosphere was enhanced with themed images and captions - many of them resonated perfectly, bringing genuine smiles and lively discussions.
A special highlight of the evening was the Kabbalat Shabbat ceremony, which set the tone for a peaceful weekend, opening hearts to warm words and kind actions. Shabbat is not only a tradition, but also a unique state of mind. Even if there is not always an opportunity to visit Hillel, it is important to remember that Shabbat can be welcomed at home as well, creating an atmosphere of light and comfort with loved ones. It is something that can be spoken about at length, but once experienced, it becomes clear without words.
And when the volunteer center gets involved, the work truly comes alive. Participants prepared halva with such enthusiasm, as if they had been doing it all their lives - even though many admitted it was their first time. The result was not only delicious, but most importantly made with heart and care.
The prepared sweets are intended for elderly beneficiaries - “grandmothers” and “grandfathers”, who will surely feel this care in every piece. Because the most valuable ingredient in such treats is the attention and love invested by the volunteers.
May every good deed return to you with happiness and joy.
