But Sabbath doesn’t just happen. We must prepare for it. There is room within this set-aside day for spontaneity, but the day must be set aside, and that takes planning. It won’t force itself upon us. We must “make Sabbath,” to use a phrase from the Jewish tradition.8 If you find it challenging to plan how you will structure the day, perhaps the path forward for you involves acknowledging the Sabbath Queen. The Sabbath Bride and the Sabbath Queen collaborate to achieve Sabbath rest (Shabbat Menuhah).
