Scenario

When family Sabbath feels forced rather than restful

Our family agreed to try Sabbath dinners where we light candles and put phones away but my teenager rolls her eyes every time and my spouse keeps checking work emails during grace and I feel like I'm forcing something holy on people who don't want it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared sacred time cannot be imposed, yet someone must initiate what everyone secretly craves.
