Big Shabbat Gatherings

 
Shabbat dinner - the real Happy Meal
"As our sages clearly knew, and researchers are only beginning to document, the weekly Shabbat dinner is far more than challah, baked chicken and matzo ball soup. It is a vehicle for releasing our kids from the dangerous clutches of Ronald McDonald. It is a means of keeping our families safe, sane and happy in a stressful, frenetically paced 21st-century world."  from Shabbat: The Real Happy Meal, by Sharon Duke Estroff in The Intermountain Jewish News, April 2009
