A simple question, but it matters to me; I've been thinking about it for the past few weeks. I'd be happy to hear responses from the few people who are kind enough to visit my largely defunct blog:
What is your favourite part of preparing for Shabbos?
I ask because there is so much that is challenging and stressful about getting ready for Shabbos, and it can make the experience miserable. Perhaps looking for favourite parts might help?

Preparing the Shabbat candles for my wife.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your answers! For me, polishing shoes and opening the wine come to mind. Preparing the candles, too.
ReplyDeleteMy treat is less of a preparation and more of a mindset. My favorite part of erev shabbos is walking out my door to mincha. it is at that point when time stops-all preparations and work issues from the week end and my 25 hours of "vacation" begin.
