Day 5: Build Your Shabbat Menu Crafting Your Own Shabbat – A 6-Day Journey to Rest

You’ve made the space. You’ve chosen what to let go of. You’ve even designed how your Shabbat will begin and end.

Now let’s talk about the in-between.

Think of today as setting the table for your Shabbat. We’re creating your Shabbat Menu—not a strict schedule, just a gentle rhythm that includes what you actually want more of in your life.

Journal Prompt:
What kinds of moments do I want to have during Shabbat?

Build your personal Shabbat Menu!

Pick 3–5 things to include. You can keep it loose, or lay it out like:
