Jewish tradition speaks of a special “Shabbat Spice” that creates a unique flavor and spirit different from the rest of the week. Shared in “A Meal With A Feel,” Onward Israel’s educational pamphlet designed to transform Shabbat dinner into a meaningful experience for all, this post suggests this fun and thoughtful game as a way to add your own “Shabbat Spice” to your Shabbat dinner and the days leading up to it.
Shabbat Spice
Each participant receives the name of another participant a week before Shabbat dinner. Everybody needs to have a name, so everyone can enjoy being both a giver and receiver. During the week, each participant will send secret messages, hints or smalls things as gifts for their partner. For the Shabbat dinner everyone will bring a small gift and card (up to 20NIS) that reveals who is their “Shabbat Spice”.
