The week prior to your wedding is a time of building anticipation and inner preparation for the transformative moment of unification with the person you love. The most exceptional day during this wedding week is the Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath, which extends from Friday night until Saturday night. Jewish tradition teaches that every Shabbat is not just a day of rest but such a time of intimacy between the human and the divine that in Kabbalah, Jewish mysticism, Shabbat is compared to an actual wedding each week.
