## Description

Elegant, passionate, and filled with love for God's creation, Abraham Joshua Heschel's The Sabbath has been hailed as a classic of Jewish spirituality ever since its original publication in 1951-and remains a timeless resource for readers seeking meaning in modern life. In this brief yet profound meditation on the meaning of the Seventh Day, Heschel introduces the idea of an " architecture of holiness." Judaism, he argues, is a religion of time: it finds meaning not in space and the material things that fill it but in the eternity that imbues it. Offering a respite in which we might become attuned to the holiness of time, the great cathedral of the faith is the Sabbath itself. Featuring black-and-white illustrations by Ilya Schor
