The Gift of Shabbos
Insights from the Sfas Emes on the Sabbath and its observances
By Rabbi Yosef Stern
Description:
For nearly a century, Rabbi Yehudah Aryeh Alter of Ger' s classic Sfas Emes has been the challenging and provocative fare of outstanding scholars. But the concise and complex language and thought process of this classic were daunting to all but a select few. But Rabbi Yosef Stern has distilled these profound; scintillating , pithy, incredibly rich discourses into enlightening and inspiring English essays.
The Gift of Shabbos is a clear and brilliant work. Among the topics it explores are: Melachah (creative work) Menuchah (rest) Shabbos as a Divine gift the three meals Lechem Mishneh (the two loaves of bread) Oneg (delight) Shabbos Shabbos as a microcosm of the World to Come a commentary on the Kabbalas Shabbos service.
In addition , it features an introduction to the Sfas Emes' mode of thought, which includes a treatment of the sage' s approach to such concepts as Nekudah Hapenimis and Hashgachah Pratis.
