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

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, 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.''Featuring black-and-white illustrations by Ilya Schor
