Sabbath

Elegant, passionate, and filled with the love of God's creation, Abraham Joshua Heschel'sThe Sabbathhas 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, one of the most widely respected religious leaders of the twentieth century, introduced the influential 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 materials things that fill it but in time and the eternity that imbues it, so that 'the Sabbaths are our great catherdrals.'Heschel, Abraham Joshua is the author of 'Sabbath', published 1975 under ISBN 9780374512675 and ISBN 0374512671.
