Welcome to Hadassah’s monthly Shabbat column at Thrive Global, a media platform founded by Arianna Huffington.

Each month a Hadassah leader writes about the broad theme of Shabbat and what it means to unplug ourselves.

With a Jewish population of only 65 families in your city, celebrating Shabbat mght seem a little different than in a city with a large Jewish population.  Yet in this month's column Hadassah Israel Travel Co-Chair Carol Rosenthal offers her unique perspective on what Shabbat means to her living in the smaller community of Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
