Sinopsis:
Step into the world of Shabbat as you've never seen it before.
In The Sabbath Journey, Ben Kol Chai invites readers of all backgrounds—curious beginners, seasoned learners, and everyone in between—into the heart of one of the Talmud’s most iconic tractates. With warmth, clarity, and storytelling finesse, this book offers a guided tour through the laws, debates, and deep spiritual insights of Tractate Shabbat, without requiring prior knowledge of Hebrew or Aramaic.
Rather than a dry translation, this book presents a vibrant thematic journey—unpacking topics like the 39 forbidden labors, the mystery of muktzeh, the beauty of candle-lighting, and the bold Talmudic principle that saving a life overrides all else. Along the way, readers meet legendary sages, discover hidden Hanukkah stories, and explore Shabbat as a taste of eternity, a covenant of peace, and a weekly invitation to joy.
Accessible yet deeply rooted in tradition, The Sabbath Journey is perfect for students, teachers, spiritual seekers, or anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Judaism’s day of rest. Whether you light candles each week or are just beginning to explore the world of Talmud, this book will leave you inspired, informed, and eager for more.
