Solo Shabbat Guide

On a sailing trip in 1989 Italian teacher Mauro Morandi encountered a small island nestled between Sardinia and Corsica. Uninhabited save for a caretaker, Morandi was
captivated by its beauty and isolation. Soon after, he took over as the island’s guardian and sole inhabitant — and remains there over 30 years later. Alone but not lonely, Morandi reminds us to distinguish between the two.
Being alone during this pandemic is life-saving work, and while most of us are not fortunate enough to be alone on a beautiful Mediterranean island, we can all encounter what philosopher Abraham Joshua Heschel calls “an island in time”every week on Friday night.
