Customizing your Shabbat for your guests

From Shabbat

1. What if you don't observe Shabbat the way the Orthodox do? Does that mean you're not shomer/et shabbat? No! Try discussing Reform, Reconstructionist and Renewal views of the meaning of Shabbat and alternative interpretations of observing and sanctifying one-seventh of your week! What do the holiness and differentness of Shabbat mean to you? What does a day of rest mean to you? And then watch movies and drink the rest of the wine. That's my idea of an oneg. Do some things you don't do during the rest of the week, even if they're on the list of traditional prohibitions. Refrain from the things that bring about status, prestige and social mobility. The false idols of today are different from those of our ancestors. Live in the now and enjoy the benefits of your labour rather than creating new benefits. That's my idea of rest.

2. Having the cards about Shabbat is really perfect for the mix of reformed Jews and non-Jews that are coming to my house. I have set them out next to a pretty Star of David plate from my mom, for people to browse at/discuss throughout the night.
