In this final episode of our 7-part Shabbat rituals miniseries, Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores the deep spiritual meaning of Havdalah, the ritual that marks the end of Shabbat and the beginning of a new week. Why do transitions matter so much—emotionally, spiritually, and culturally? From national borders to baseball strike zones, Rabbi Josh reflects on how boundaries shape our lives, and how Havdalah offers a mindful way to carry the peace of Shabbat into the week ahead.
