And why is Shabbos any different than any other day of the week?<br /><br />On this special day, when there are less distractions, we can connect to Hashem on a deeper level. One way to do this is to go out of your way to make this day more spiritual. For example, you can read a book on a topic that will enhance your appreciation for yiddishkeit. You can read a hashkafah book or something on the Parsha. There are so many books out there-in English-that you can read! Let me know if you want any suggestions.<br /><br />You can say some extra tehillim with a tehillim that has the meaning of the words inside it (such as an interlinear one). The tehillim is so incredible, saying it with proper concentration and thought can really help you connect to your Loving Father more!!<br /><br />You can do an extra mitzvah - such as visiting someone who is elderly or sick or volunteering to help a family through Chai Lifeline. <br /><br />You can make it your business to help your own family out more on Shabbos-babysit your younger siblings so your mother can rest.<br /><br />You can go to a speech on a topic that you feel you need chizuk in.<br /><br />You can learn something with your friend(s) that will help answer some of the questions you had.<br /><br />Anything that you do on Shabbos that will enhance and improve your spiritual level is connecting to Hashem in a very deep way. That is how you spend time with Hashem-by learning His Torah and doing His mitzvos.<br /><br />I hope this helps and let me know what you think!!Devorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467731180285925143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669597641513421106.post-48557395389297074392010-03-09T22:00:57.807-05:002010-03-09T22:00:57.807-05:00Similar to what meeeeee and shnooky wrote, what is...Similar to what meeeeee and shnooky wrote, what is it that really defines that our shabbos is one that builds our relationship with Hashem?luv613https://www.blogger.com/profile/00204074322298747062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669597641513421106.post-35827362795772747492010-03-08T00:00:33.524-05:002010-03-08T00:00:33.524-05:00I'm with MEEEEEEE... really working on feeling...I'm with MEEEEEEE... really working on feeling more connected to Hashem on shabbos, but practically speaking, even though I'm a shomr shbs yid and i really WANNA feel closer to Him, i find myself not feeling particularly close to Hashem on shabbos... any tips??*shnooky*noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669597641513421106.post-5275330017607004872010-03-07T15:19:26.881-05:002010-03-07T15:19:26.881-05:00devoiry dont thank me... you are the totally aweso...devoiry dont thank me... you are the totally awesome one hereUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016433285812598658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669597641513421106.post-44152365694144067462010-03-07T15:00:47.767-05:002010-03-07T15:00:47.767-05:00i rllly like what you wrote i jst dont get how thi...i rllly like what you wrote i jst dont get how this all works what does it mean to spend time with hashem???? what do you mean by honeymoon.. wedding.. we sing some songs and eat some food whst is so great abt that?? it does not feel anyhting major at all!! pls help me understand!<br />I LOVE YOUR INSPIRATION JSUT THIS THING I DO NOT GET!!meeeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669597641513421106.post-54556871672659404232010-03-07T14:57:18.381-05:002010-03-07T14:57:18.381-05:00what does it mean to spend time with hashem on sha...what does it mean to spend time with hashem on shabb???? how do you that ok so my family sings some songs a nice dvar torah and then what?? how is this a wedding or honey moon or a connection i totally dont get it!! pls help me understand????????????<br />thanks soo much for your outstanding ideas i jst dont get how to do this one...meeeeeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669597641513421106.post-10559868775899446422010-03-07T10:53:24.848-05:002010-03-07T10:53:24.848-05:00to-Thank you so much for your comment!
