When routine becomes intention, we bring our own meaning to spiritual practice

Although I am not shomer Shabbat by any means, attending Friday night services has become a part of my routine.

When scheduled, Shabbat also includes Torah study for me. All these activities are a part of Shabbat in the Frank household.
