In this video, Sonya from Sonya's Prep shares her approach to preparing for Shabbat, aimed at working moms or anyone feeling overwhelmed by pre-Shabbat tasks. By spreading out her preparations over three days, Sonya finds a balance that allows for a more peaceful transition into the day of rest. She outlines her plan: Wednesday is for menu planning and initial tasks like making challah; Thursday focuses on food prep like chopping and marinating; and Friday is when everything comes together, with cooking completed and a calm, intentional atmosphere set for Shabbat. This method not only alleviates stress but also helps her feel more present as Shabbat begins.
