Editorial Reviews
Review
"Clearly Heschel's most beloved book, The Sabbath is much more than a book about the Sabbath. It is, rather, our century's most illuminating study of the dynamics of Jewish ritual living."--Dr. Neil Gillman, author of Sacred Fragments

"Timeless. Read it, and be ready to be changed."-The Reverend Richard John Neuhaus, editor in chief of First Things

"Heschel's The Sabbath is easily the primary text for all subsequent American Jewish spirituality."-Rabbi Lawrence Kushner, author of God Was in This Place
