This year, the two holidays fall out on the Sabbath (Shabbat) day. “That means that the Christian world takes a rest, the stores and banks are closed, and tens of thousands of Jews who don't always observe Sabbath can rest from their work,” she explained.
Jewish observance of the Sabbath day is a known way to bring the Messiah, she said. It is written in the Talmud that if the Jews were to observe two Sabbath days in a row, “they would be redeemed immediately,” she noted.
Each individual can make a difference, she said, “When I asked the rabbi, he always said that even just one extra person keeping the Sabbath day could tip the scales in favor of everyone.”
