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
