During his first year of rabbinical school in Jerusalem, Rabbi Oren Hayon lived on the boundary between two neighborhoods: one deeply religious, one fiercely secular. Each Shabbat, he watched an elderly man slowly walk to synagogue, pausing to wag his finger at every passing car. Rabbi Hayon opens that memory to reflect on what it really means to be free: Shabbat as an “encampment in time,” a sacred pause where we lay down what we’re carrying and stop acting like pharaohs to ourselves. If your days feel like an endless stream of messages and “one more email,” he invites you to hear a different voice: You’ve traveled far enough for today.
