Shabbat in Jerusalem… You can already feel it early the Friday morning. A sense of anticipation hovers over the city. Shop attendants who usually bark a disinterested “Ken?” (Yes?) in your direction will today make an extra effort with a “Shabbat Shalom” (a gruff one, but still…) The streets are busier as crowds jostle home for final preparations on the Shabbat meal. Oh, the Shabbat meal… Tell-tale smells waft from thousands of kitchens all over the city – a promise of the feast to come. Men hurry home from the shuk (market), a bunch of flowers for the wife and challah (braided Shabbat bread) under the arm.
