SHABBAT MEDITATIONS
What follows is a number of Shabbat meditations and a short summary of the Torah principles which they are based on. All of these meditations are drawn from a series of Shabbat essays taught by the previous Slonimer Rebbe (Zatzal) in the second volume of his work Netivot Shalom.

I hope that by practicing these meditations we can open up more and more of this sensitivity.
