“In Captivity Shabbat Was the Most Stable Thing I Had”

In captivity, Shabbat was the most stable thing I had, as funny as [music] that sounds. In captivity, there's no day or night and no sense of time. But the merit of Shabbat is something that keeps you going. I couldn't pray out loud, so the prayer was inside me, quietly, to myself, without anyone hearing. It was the only place where I felt free. >> [music] >> It helped me not to lose myself, to remember where I came from and where I'm going. Faith and Shabbat require us to take care of one another.
