Rabbi Beth Beyer says, "A cure for today's modern hectic pace was designed several millennia ago and is written in the 10 commandments. Honor the Shabbat. Shabbat is the 25-hour period beginning just before sunset on Friday and lasting until nightfall on Saturday. It's a remedy for the overly connected.

Take a break from the ordinary, focus on family, spiritual growth and engage with community. What's involved?
