N2 - While adapting to the changing realities of pluralism and globalisation, it is imperative the field of practical theology consider the unheard voice of the religious other as an indispensable theological interlocutor. In this article, I argue for the examination of contemporary Jewish practice as one potential starting point. In order to engage in such inquiries, I first propose the necessity of post-Shoah theology as an indispensable conceptual lens that gives credence to the damaging effects of Christian supersessionism. Second, I offer my own research on how Jewish rabbis practice Shabbat as a working case study. In this regard, I propose the use of phenomenological research as a methodology that gives voice to how Jews describe their own experience. In conclusion, I offer reflexive gleanings for the enterprise of practical theology.
