Porch Shabbat


Traditional Shabbat table setting on patio furniture in a screened-in porch, shortly before sundown.

'For Southerners, the porch is about hospitality and a reflection of what’s behind the front door. It’s an extension of ones’ home and truly functions as an outdoor living room... [E]ach serves the same purpose - space where we sit and talk for long hours sipping sweet tea, shelter from the summer sun or afternoon rainstorm, and host family and friends, whether planned or an impromptu drop by. It’s a spot to slow down, gather, and relax.' - Cameron Beall


'Whatever you’re doing, it can wait. Take a load off and come sit a spell. Everyone is welcome. Basic membership is free.' - The Porch Sitters Union


'Maybe marriages were made in heaven, but we believe in giving the old-fashioned porch-swing some credit.' - Robert Elliot Gonzales


'The swing on your porch is a better liver of life than the chair in front of your desk.' - Terri Guillemets


'We cannot resist the conviction that this world is for us only the porch of another and more magnificent temple of the Creator's majesty.' - Frederick William Faber
