This week, Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores the quiet power of one of Judaism’s most familiar yet often overlooked rituals: saying Shabbat Shalom. Rabbi Feigelson invites us to reflect on how this simple greeting becomes a meaningful spiritual practice—one that reconnects us with peace, presence, and the divine in each other. In the latest installment of a seven part miniseries on mindfulness and Shabbat, Rabbi Feigelson shares stories about his trusty companion, his dog Phoebe, and reflects on how walking a dog and greeting a neighbor offers a mindful way to approach Shabbat.

Practice of the Week: Say Shabbat Shalom—but say it with intention, with heart, and with inner peace.
