Review
"Heschel's The Sabbath is easily the primary text for all subsequent American Jewish Spirituality." --Rabbi Lawrence Kushner, author of God Was In This Place
"Clearly Heschel's most beloved book, The Sabbath is much more than a book about the Sabbath. It is, rather, our century's most illuminating study of the dynamics of Jewish ritual living." --Dr. Neil Gillman, author of Sacred Fragments
"Timeless. Read it, and be ready to be changed." --The Revered Richard John Neuhaus, editor in chief of First Things

Book Description
Elegant, passionate, and filled with the love of God's creation, Abraham Joshua Heschel's The Sabbath has been hailed as a classic of Jewish spirituality ever since its original publication-and has been read by thousands of people seeking meaning in modern life. In this brief yet profound meditation on the meaning of the Seventh Day, Heschel introduced the idea of an "architecture of holiness" that appears not in space but in time Judaism, he argues, is a religion of time: it finds meaning not in space and the material things that fill it but in time and the eternity that imbues it, so that "the Sabbaths are our great cathedrals."

Astonishing,
This review is from: Sabbath (Paperback)
Contains an excellent introduction to the idea of building a palace in time. Actually, I was so amazed by this work that I'm having a hard time finding the words to describe it.

WOW! This book is rich!,
By Meirav "yll" (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sabbath (Paperback)
Some books are informative. Others are inspiring. This one is both. It has gems on every page. It's not a how-to guide for how to make Shabbat, but a how-to guide for how to think about the Queen of Days. He uses word imagery and wisdom from the sages to paint pictures on every page. It's the kind of book you can read over and over and get something different.After checking this book out of the library, I want to buy two copies: one for me and one for our temple's library.

READ THIS BOOK,
By Christine LaMere (Sedona, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sabbath (Paperback)
Not only does this book explain why it is celebrated, it inspires you to do so. It's a bit repetetive, but always with a different spin. So explanatory, for the person who observes the sabbath and the person who is just learning about it. Something for everyone. Absolutely inspiring!!!
