What do hockey dressing rooms and Shabbos have in common?

The most devoted hockey players are the first to arrive and the last to leave.

That’s the kind of commitment we’re meant to bring to Shabbos too.

By preparing early and lingering a little longer as Shabbos departs, we can fully embrace its peace, a true taste of the world to come.

How do you “add on” to your Shabbos?

As a visible Orthodox Jew and rabbi, I’ve been thinking deeply about the power of facial expressions.

It’s not about toxic positivity or forcing a smile 24/7, but about cultivating genuine joy for life and gratitude for being Jewish.

As someone who’s a walking symbol of Judaism, I know my demeanor leaves an impression.

The Torah teaches our faces are “public property,” and the Gemara says that whitening your teeth (smiling!) for a friend is greater than giving them milk to drink.

Smiling is an act of kindness. It’s spiritual work. And it’s part of how I strive to represent Am Yisrael in the world. ✨

What’s one way you bring more light into the faces around you?
