Follow The Recipe: Why “50% Shabbos” Doesn’t Work – Yaakov Shwekey & Rabbi Meyer Yedid

What makes a Shabbos table work - not just halachically, but emotionally, spiritually, and across generations?
In this deep and heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Rabbi Meir Yedid to explore the power of Shabbos as a complete experience - one that builds families, creates belonging, and shapes who we become long after the table is cleared. Through stories, tradition, and lived wisdom, Rabbi Yedid shares how Shabbos is not about pressure or performance, but about environment: song, respect, menucha, and presence. From the “50% of the ingredients” mashal to the role of music as the language of the soul, this episode offers a thoughtful look at why partial Shabbos leads to partial results, and how following the full “recipe” transforms everything.
