    A lecture based on Abraham Heschel's book The Sabbath

    The biblical idea of the sabbath has been largely lost in our modern society. The Jewish philosopher Abraham Heschel in his book, The Sabbath, argues for the importance of retrieving this rich biblical concept. The message of his book would seem to be more important than ever in a society that honors productivity and success over rest and inner renewal and where busyness is seen as a virtue. Using Heschel’s book as a starting point, this lecture will explore ways in which the biblical ideas of sabbath can be a resource for cultivating rest and renewal in our busy lives.
