Businessman Guy Eitan Shares Emotional Experience After Fully Observing Sabbath

Israeli businessman Guy Eitan, who has been on a spiritual journey toward religious observance, recently shared his feelings after fully observing the Sabbath for the first time in a long while. Posting on Instagram on Saturday night, Eitan expressed a sense of renewal and inner peace, saying, "I feel new, calm, and at peace. I don't know what I was thinking not fully observing the Sabbath over the past year."

Eitan's commitment to observing the Sabbath began about a year ago following a meeting with Rabbi Yigal Cohen during a difficult period marked by mental exhaustion and lack of energy. The rabbi encouraged him to take on the mitzvah of Sabbath observance in exchange for prayers on his behalf, an offer Eitan described as deeply touching and one he accepted immediately. He called it a sincere and genuine decision made both to himself and spiritually.

Previously, Eitan had shared that he attended Torah classes on Fridays since he was 13 and described himself as "half observant" with much room for improvement. Reflecting on his journey, he acknowledged that partial observance is not sustainable, stating, "You either fully commit or you don't." His recent post to hundreds of thousands of followers highlighted his regret for not maintaining stricter observance in the past year and his renewed dedication moving forward.
