As a Christian, I was so interested to read a Jewish perspective on the Sabbath—I really value the length of tradition & practice the author brings to the subject. There are some beautiful reflective passages, but also lots of lofty musings on time & space + discussions of ancient rabbis‘ views, which were a bit tedious to me. I wanted something a little more down-to-earth, more descriptive of Sabbath tradition & practice. Still worth the read!
Starting these two today... the tagged is for my Education for Ministry group, and The New Jim Crow is for a Black Lives Matter book group with friends at church. Having grown up in the Christian tradition, I‘m so interested to read about the Sabbath from a Jewish perspective. And even though I anticipate it will be difficult/frustrating to explore the topic, I‘m looking forward to learning from The New Jim Crow and our discussion in a few weeks.
It does not matter if you are Jewish or not, believe in G-d or not, this book will make you want to slow down and allow yourself one day - a whole day - of true rest. No work, no negative thoughts, no running from one place to the other - but one spiritual day that can be spent meditating but most of all with learning through reading the Torah. A day dedicated to the soul. The Sabbath is a remarkable poetic book that I will read again.
“The Sabbath comes like a caress, wiping away fear, sorrow and somber memories.”
This is so true.
This is a classic work I read for my conversion.
