Publisher's Summary
From Chief Rabbi Dr. Warren Goldstein–the creator of the international Shabbat Project–comes a book that tells the story of Shabbat in a way that has never been told before, and a call to “return Shabbat to the center of Jewish life”.
What unites a Russian refusenik, a US senator, a Parisian fashion designer, a world-famous behavioral psychologist, and a world championship boxer?
What brings together prime ministers and presidents, musicians and actors, Nobel prize-winners and novelists?
What lies at the heart of a global grassroots movement uniting Jews across every language, culture, and background?
Shabbat.
But if Shabbat isn’t just a day of rest, what is it?
A Day to Create Yourself is a call to see Shabbat with fresh eyes–to discover how it can unleash personal and societal renewal, and offers us a recipe for happiness in an increasingly complex world. It also gives us something more–the divine gift of self-creation. More than just a day of rest, Shabbat is a day that completely transforms us.
Ultimately, Shabbat reminds us that our most important accomplishments in life cannot be touched, measured, or priced–that our greatest work of creation is ourselves.
Drawing from hundreds of Jewish sources, distilling the ideas and commentaries of Jewish sages spanning 3000 years, A Day to Create Yourself delves into some of the deepest secrets of Shabbat.
And tells the story of Shabbat in a way that has never been told before.
