The National Day of Unplugging and the Sabbath Manifesto

March 24, 2010 By ray

Reboot, a nonprofit organization aimed at reinventing the traditions and rituals of Judaism for today’s secular Jews, is composed of internet entrepreneurs, creators of award-winning television shows, community organizers and nonprofit leaders. These “Rebooters” are people who typically have their cell phones glued to their palms. Several of them go so far as to say they have an addiction to their devices.

Well, this past weekend, they pledged to observe 24 hours of freedom from their devices: a National Day of Unplugging, lasting from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath.

The Sabbath Manifesto consists of 10 principles. As they stand now, the guiding principles are:

1. Avoid technology.

2. Connect with loved ones.

3. Nurture your health.

4. Get outside.

5. Avoid commerce.

6. Light candles.

7. Drink wine.

8. Eat bread.

9. Find silence.

10. Give back.

The National Day of Unplugging specifically promotes the first principle. It seems Christians today can learn a lot from our Jewish counterparts. For the full article, click here.
