The Sabbath
Book • 1951
In this classic work, Heschel argues that Judaism is a religion of time rather than space, and that the Sabbath is central to this concept.
He describes the Sabbath as an 'architecture of holiness' in time, a day that offers a taste of the Kingdom of God and a repudiation of the materialistic and frenetic aspects of modern life.
Heschel emphasizes the importance of observing the Sabbath as a command rather than a license, highlighting its role in declaring allegiance to God and in fostering a sense of inner liberty and spiritual communion.
