Once a week, I can take a day for myself. Shut myself out from the real world and spend the day without technology or work. I can relax and spend time with my family and friends and not worry about the 100 pages of Nickel and Dimed due, the number of people that wrote on my wall on Facebook, or that "Degrassi" has a new episode coming out next fall. I can put the hustle and bustle of every day life behind me for 25 sweet hours and enjoy being myself, enjoy being an individual. This is what Israel taught me, among other things; that 6 days a week, we're slaves to our cellphones, but on Shabbat, we can finally rest.
