Around the Shabbat Table

Covenant & Conversation | April 17, 2026

Around the Shabbat Table

1. In Judaism we often sanctify the physical world. Where in your life can you elevate an everyday act into something holy?

2. How might seeing every childbirth as a miracle change the way we think about families and parenting?

3. A new mother is exempt from the Temple because she is already experiencing holiness. What does this teach us about where to find God?

● These questions come from this week’s Family Edition to Rabbi Sacks’ Covenant & Conversation. For an interactive, multi-generational study, check out the full edition at https://rabbisacks.org/covenant-conversation/tazria/holiness-and-childbirth-5786/
