Abstract

The article explores the significance of Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath, as a central family gathering ritual in Israel, akin to a weekly Thanksgiving. On Friday nights, Israeli families, regardless of their level of religious observance, come together for a communal meal, fostering connections and reinforcing social bonds. This tradition, which is widely practiced even among secular Israelis, serves as a cultural glue that strengthens community ties and contributes to the overall resilience of Israeli society. The article also highlights how this ritual contrasts with trends in other countries, where family gatherings have diminished, and emphasizes the role of storytelling and intergenerational connections in enhancing emotional well-being.
