The Sabbath

Abstract

March 17, 2013: Sunday 2-3:30pm The Sabbath by Abraham Joshua Heschel Elegant, passionate, and filled with the love of God\u27s creation, Abraham Joshua Heschel\u27s 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. A scholarly meditation of the nature and celebration of the Sabbath. Linda Yellin, Asst. Professor, Department of Sociology, facilitatorhttps://digitalcommons.lmu.edu/jewishbookgroup/1029/thumbnail.jp
