A review by bkauffman
The Sabbath by Abraham Joshua Heschel

informative inspiring reflective slow-paced

4.0

The first few chapters of this book were life changing and taught a great deal about how to frame the Sabbath, the realms of space and time, and time in general. Beyond this, there is interesting dialogue about debates rabbis had regarding such things, but the returns in the latter half, at least for me, were quite diminished from the first few chapters. Definitely worth its weight in gold for the first few chapters. Beyond that, there are nuggets of pure goodness surrounding much lesser interesting content. Overall, an extremely good book, beneficial to any Jew or Christian wanting to understand the Sabbath better.
