Unplug Challenge

A Provisional Guide for Observing a Weekly Day of Rest

What is this?

The Sabbath Manifesto is a
creative project designed to slow
down lives in an increasingly
hectic world.

The National Day of Unplugging is on March 1-2, 2019. Join us in taking the pledge to unplug from technology regularly. Take the pledge at NationalDayofUnplugging.com. We want to know what you will do when you UNPLUG. Download the I UNPLUG TO _____ poster, take a photo with it and upload your image to NationalDayofUnplugging.com. Share your picture on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

For our Sabbath Manifesto, we created 10 core principles completely open for your unique interpretation. We welcome you to join us as we carve a weekly timeout into our lives and to continue the momentum of the National Day of Unplugging throughout the year.

Light candles.

  • swabby429

    Scented candles are very nice when taking a luxurious bath. I keep them close to the tub as a safety precaution. I live alone.

    When using candles elsewhere, I use the battery powered “candles” inside of a colored holder. That way I can drift off and wake up later without worry for my safety.

    Of course I use a regular candle on my shrine for daily meditations.

    i have come to love candles. i use two. one reminds me of my mom. the other of my father.

  • Jake

    Wow soo cool! We should light them before sundown.

    When our children were young, we used to gather together as the Sabbath hours approached, and we would light some oil lamps..signifying that the Sabbath hours were upon us. It is a time to reflect, be at peace with yourself, your world and with God. Put your worries away for 24 hours….they will still be there don't fret! We get so busy during the week, Sabbath was the day spent together as a family as we worshiped together, did activities indoors, outdoors, hiked, played games, made homemade crafts & cookies, read, helped others and just enjoyed being a family. The boys are grown now……what wonderful memories!

    My destiny was to go to work on Saturday rather than establish the day as my time for rest, relaxing, reconnecting, etc. Over time I integrated more and more of these necessities into my life so that I no longer depend upon vacations, time off or get-aways to recharge. Shabbat is a gift to us and we must make the most of it.

  • graymatter

    I light them every Friday. I live in a totally non Jewish area and just lighting the candles symbolically sets me apart. The candles look peaceful.

    There is nothing like an open flame to show the active/re-active part of recreation/re-creation.

  • Leslie

    Making bouquets from the garden (even a winter garden can offer lovely bouquets) and then coming in and lighting candles and playing classical music, ahhhh, we all mellow. Beauty and light in the dark of night.

    The candles are always part of our Shabbat, and juice not wine for me because wine gives me headaches. For me the Shabbat candles are like the Ner Tamid.

    time for the people who light candles on shabbot to come home.

    I know how you feel Jayden. I’ve never regretted the day I first put scented candles in the living room. The smell is so relaxing, I’ve fallen asleep lots of times.

    Sympathy Gift Baskets are one of the more difficult gifts a person will buy in their lives. Everyone goes through tough times when buying a sympathy gift is necessary. During the loss of a loved one, when a person is seriously ill and many of life’s other challenges may warrant buying a gift of sympathy.

    If you consider buying your tin soy candles on local stores then that is still acceptable, online stores are just for alternatives in case that there are no more stores that can sell these kinds of candles. For more reference, you can use the internet for searching places or stores that can possibly sell these candles.

    Fill a basket with nativity set, assorted Christmas ornaments (store bought, but better if hand-made by you,) decorative lights, homemade candles or seasonal candles from your local craft store and a little traditional mistletoe and holly

    First of all, know that your significant other loves you and no material thing can add or subtract from that no matter what. That being said, a sweet and well-planned present to show you care is always appreciated and more often than not, reciprocated in one way or another. Give him something that you know he likes and he will be more apt to give you things that he knows you will like as well.

    This is very beautiful! Thank you for the inspiration, I’d like to practice this as well.

    The gifts may differ from most of the gift sets as may not so much what is kept in the basket, but what are

    the products can do for us. The main purpose of the items in the spa gift basket is to supply the receiver

    with all the products they actually need to generate a spa-like ambient in their own bathroom.

    In this article I offer some suggestions on putting together the perfect Spa Day gift basket for the special lady in your life. Whether it is for a teacher, a mother, a sister, a boss or whomever, we all love to receive this gift and as we all know, we can never have too many bath products. There are seemingly endless possibilities with items you can put in this basket and personal touches you can add. Really a fun gift to give and receive.

    Gourmet gift baskets are ideal for any occasion: birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, graduations, etc. They are filled with goodies such as chocolate and fruit. The baskets themselves can have a nice design.

    Dealing with the death of a family member or friend is the most difficult thing that anybody could ever face. Many people are so caught up in their grief that they forget to look after themselves. If someone in your life is dealing with the death of a loved one, you can provide them a bit of comfort by sending them sympathy gift baskets.

    Key to the wine basket is flexibility and being able to meet the specific client demands as they arise. The wine appreciation hamper is popular because it combines a generous two or three bottle sampling from the estate with a range of easy to share accompaniments that are well suited to the wine experience.

    • First, collect some glass jars. Before you use any old jars, make sure that you clean and dry them thoroughly. If you prefer to purchase new ones then this works, too.
    • Next, you can heat the soy wax in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes. In the absence of microwave, a gas stove works just as fine.
