Nation on Pause-Shabbos initiative for the hostages
« on: January 09, 2024, 07:33:04 PM »


Hi all. A relative of mine worked on a Shmiras Shabbos project as a zchus for the hostages and Klal Yisroel. With all that’s going on in Eretz Yisroel now, one thing that keeps jumping out is the theme of Shmiras Shabbos bringing salvation and miracles time and again. (For ex, short amazing audio clip https://www.torahanytime.com/#/lectures?a=268042).
Please take a minute to visit http://nationonpause.org/ and choose something small you can do this Shabbos; it will go a long way.
The hype has died down, but they’re still in captivity and we can’t give up!
Please share widely!

In case it wasn't obvious, there's a list of extra kabalos pertaining to Shabbos for those who already keep Shabbos.

Signed up. Thanks!

This was sent to the organizers of this initiative when Sapir heard about their efforts.

Over 3000 signups for this Shabbos!

I’m not seeing this trending on social media. They need better branding/hashtags

700 to 3,000 in a week isn't too shabby...

3000 isn't a signficiant number IMHO, can be much higher once it gets traction.

This is all done by volunteers who have full time jobs. There is a very small marketing budget. They are branded with Shabbat.com and it is going out to their list. They also connected with Hidabroot in Eretz Yisrael.
