Sabbath rest for a mother
Arg...I just had a large post disappear on me via a few misplaced keystrokes.
Anyways, the jist of what I was thinking was, given that my work is caring for the mini which cannot be set aside on any day, how do I observe the Sabbath rest? The mini needs feeding, cleaning or soothing every day of the week. In theory, N could do these things once a week, but is that taking away from his Sabbath rest?
Wish I knew some mother actively trying to observe the Sabbath. I guess I could try to find some observant Jews?

Interesting question posed. I wonder if it is like how we ourselves still take care of our own basic needs -- like eating, going to the bathroom and sleeping - even on the sabbath. Taking care of your baby's basic needs may not be considered 'work' in that light. ?? I dunno. But perhaps this is a case for constant communion with God. You can be in constant prayer whether you are feeding, cleaning or soothing your baby.
