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
