Share a Torah Insight   2. Sing a Jewish Song    3. Refrain from Gossip-Celebrate Positive Speech     Suggested Torah topic for your Shabbat table: It is written in the Talmud that Moses ascended the mountain for a second time forty days before Yom Kippur and then descended with the second tablets on Yom Kippur.  What might this symbolize?     Celebrate a special occasion by  sponsoring a Kiddush.
