THE JEWISH SABBATH CELEBRATED WITH BLESSINGS OVER BURGERS AND FRIES
The friends usher in the Sabbath – called by its Hebrew name, Shabbat – by
candlelight, with challah bread and grape juice (no wine at Wendy's) to complement their chicken nuggets and fries. Shabbat is typically observed at home with family, but here these seniors share in the celebration of their religion at Wendy’s.
The Wendy’s staff, somewhat tickled and honored to be the site of such ritual, arrange the restaurant tables into a long row and prepare milkshakes for each attendee. This is a story of
rediscovering the joys of community again in older age, and in the longing for ritual, however unorthodox it may appear. There are themes of love, of ritual and of community -- all within the context of an adorable scene at Wendy’s.
