Reply To: Promoting Shabbos

I want to add that any madreigah of ruchniyus and appreciation for Shabbos will not come at once. I think start with the basic and non spiritual idea that it is a day of rest. An opportunity to relax and take a break from the rushing and hustle and bustle of the weekday. Eventually work your way up into appreciating that the rest is a spiritual rest. We stop doing creative work so that we can focus on Spirituality and on the fact that Hashem created the world.
