What does the Sabbath mean—and why has it stood at the heart of Jewish life for thousands of years?
The Sabbath Book, compiled by Aimé Pallière and Maurice Liber, brings together a rich selection of Jewish teachings, prayers, laws, stories, and reflections devoted to Shabbat.
Beginning with the biblical foundations of the Sabbath, the book moves through ancient Jewish literature, the traditional prayers and rituals of Friday night and Saturday, the teachings of the Talmud and Midrash, classical rabbinic sources, and modern Jewish religious and literary writings.
Throughout these selections, Shabbat emerges as far more than a day of rest. It is a sign of the covenant between God and Israel, a remembrance of Creation, a protection of human dignity, a source of spiritual renewal, and the sacred center of Jewish family and communal life.
This volume offers readers a remarkably broad portrait of the Sabbath as it has been understood, observed, and cherished across the generations.
Accessible to both general readers and students of Jewish thought, The Sabbath Book is a timeless anthology of rest, holiness, freedom, prayer, and peace.
