Dear ,

Shabbat isn’t just rest—it’s rehearsal for the family you hope to become.

I've heard Jefferson Bethke call it “practice for multigenerational impact,” where our kids see faith and hospitality modeled, not preached.

It’s where the family's values shift from being just aspirational to becoming actual.

Imagine your grandkids (yes, your grandkids!) remembering Friday nights as:

• the place where they learned to bless their siblings

• the spark for their leadership gifts

• the weekly reminder that family > individual

Take 90 seconds: write one sentence that captures the deeper why behind your meals. What do you hope your grandkids will gain from you, through your kids?

Tape it to the fridge before this week’s Shabbat.

With you for the long haul,

Kimo
