What is the Sabbath, anyway? The holy day of rest? The first effort
to protect the rights of workers? A smart way to manage stress in a
world in which computers never get turned off and work never comes
to an end? Or simply an oppressive, outmoded rite? In "The Sabbath
World, " Judith Shulevitz explores the Jewish and Christian day of
rest, from its origins in the ancient world to its complicated
observance in the modern one. Braiding ideas together with
memories, Shulevitz delves into the legends, history, and
philosophy that have grown up around a custom that has lessons for
all of us, not just the religious. The shared day of nonwork has
built communities, sustained cultures, and connected us to the
memory of our ancestors and to our better selves, but it has also
aroused as much resentment as love. "The Sabbath World" tells this
surprising story together with an account of Shulevitz's own
struggle to keep this difficult, rewarding day.
