So, can't you guys try to do a modified Shabbat--maybe even once a month? It sounds like you got so much out of it (I loved the article) that it would be beneficial to try to hear the serenity again (and support the local shul). I have tried once or twice to set the day apart (no internet, no tv, no music, no day crammed full of errands), and even that made a big difference. We go to Friday services regularly, but Saturday seems to want to become a big errand day instead of a day to be set apart, so the need is def. there for some changes. Great article.
