    Updated: 2012-09-28 18:59:53
    Tomorrow, The Other Half and I will be attending our friends' son's Bar Mitzvah. It will be the first time I will be in an Orthodox synagogue or congregation on Shabbat since diagnosis.   Many Jews take the precept of Shabbat (Shabbos, Sabbath) as a day of rest quite seriously — Orthodox Jews in particular. The custom is to not drive, to not turn light switches on or off, to not turn the stove, oven, or microwave on or off or to change their heat settings, and to not carry anything outside the home. This practice is known as Shomer Shabbat, and extends to Jewish holidays and certain festival days.   read more
