Starship Shabbat is taking the week off.
Light yourself a candle.
Sing and song or two.
Take a breath -- then take another.
Say a prayer for those in trouble or pain.
Remember those who have passed on to another world.

See you next week!😉💕

I googled “Starship Shabbat.”
To my amusement and delight, this is what I found…
--------------------------
Starship Shabbat refers to a unique interfaith project and book series by Hazzan-Maggid Steve Klaper that re-imagines traditional Jewish Torah commentary through a "space-age" lens.

Key Components
The Inter-Galactic Shul: This is a virtual worship experience and community space that grew in popularity during the shift to online gatherings. It welcomes people of all faith traditions to "beam aboard" for a brief, 45-minute Friday evening service.

Torah Transmissions: These are short, six-minute Torah talks (mini-sermons) based on the weekly Torah portion. They are designed to be engaging for both Jews and non-Jews, often melding scholarship with mysticism and technology.

The Book: On the Starship Shabbat: Torah Transmissions from the Intergalactic Shul is a collection of these weekly teachings, formatted like a "captain's log".

Concept and Style
The project uses a space-faring metaphor to explore spiritual concepts:

Inclusivity: The "Inter-Galactic" theme emphasizes that "all life forms" are welcome, focusing on universal themes of peace and personal growth.

Modern Twist: It uses sci-fi terminology (transmissions, beaming aboard, intergalactic journeys) to make traditional spiritual study feel accessible and innovative.

Nonprofit Roots: The initiative is part of the Song and Spirit Institute for Peace, an interfaith nonprofit organization.

…beaming aboard (right here) tomorrow at 6pm eastern.
Indeed, all life forms are welcome!
