ShabbatForShalom is a platform that encourages individuals to commit to keeping Shabbat in the merit of an Israeli soldier, especially during the ongoing war, Operation Swords of Iron. Every Zechut counts!

Shabbat, often greeted with the phrase “Shabbat Shalom,” embodies rest and peace. It’s a day set aside for spiritual tranquility and reflection. The tradition of lighting Shabbat candles, as explained in the Talmud, brings light and tranquility to the home. This day offers a break from routine, encouraging a peaceful and contemplative environment that enriches both individual and communal spirituality.

You can participate by signing up on using the short form above. It’s free and easy!

Soldiers are assigned to you automatically when you sign up. You will receive a confirmation email with the soldiers name as well. Make sure to print out the email or write down the soldiers name, and have them in mind during Shabbat.
