For many people, Sabbath is above all something to be experienced and not only thought about, discussed, or intellectualized. Sabbath is about a set of practices, many of which we have encountered in the two hours of this film. Below are some suggestions and resources for practicing Sabbath on your own, within and without various religious traditions:

1. Attend a weekly worship service.

2. Dedicate one day per month as a “tech Sabbath,” in which you refrain from the use of technology.

3. Dedicate one Sabbath day per month in which you do no work and instead spend time in reading, reflection, or gathering with family and friends.

4. Experiment with a new devotional practice, such as as lectio divina, contemplative prayer, or meditation. There are many places on the internet where you can find brief descriptions of these and other practices. Here are several:

   www.jewishspirituality.org/

   www.mindful.org (for articles and tips on mindfulness practices)

5. Host a communal meal for friends, family, or new acquaintances. (Our partner OneTable has extensive online resources for hosting traditional Jewish Friday Shabbat dinners: onetable.org/resource-library/. These resources can be adapted for hosting dinners of other kinds not strictly related to a specific religious tradition.)

6. Dedicate a Sabbath day a month to serving others in your community. For ideas, visit our Partner the Unplug Collaborative at www.unplugcollaborative.org/unplug-what-to-do-collection. While these suggestions are specific to unplugging from technology, they can be adapted for any Sabbath observance.
