Reply To: Promoting Shabbos

WIY you actually bring up a good point cuz the way a certain teaches hilchos shabbos is by introdcing the subject by first delineating the arbah misos bais din and explaining EXACTLY what would happen if you happen to be mechalel shabbos and you’re right it does rock cuz skilah here it comes….

so now my goal is to undo that damage. to most teens shabbos is a boring thing, a time when theyre not with friends, only with themselves and it scares teens since many of them aren’t comfortable with themselves yet. takes some self esteem and awareness to not be afraid of hanging out with yourself. i once came home from a school trip late at night nad my family wasn’t home that night they would be back that sunday morning and my friends were like “you’re gonna be home alone tonight?” and i was fine with it (they werent asknig from a safety perspective but from “omgsh ur gonna be soooo bored”) because theres nothing wrong with having some time to think and be alone (dont worry im not antisocial)

so anways i digress…. so teens are afraid of shabbos for that reason and really shabbos is a time for growth and sleeping through it is the worst way to spend it….so whats a good way to initiate a program to get that awareness out?
