Sabbath

by Bonnie Saul Wilks

The Sabbath has always been a sacred day in Jewish culture, but with the pressures and demands of modern life, it can become harder and harder to honor the time of quiet and respect that comprises the Sabbath. Bonnie Saul Wilks encourages believers not to succumb to this apathy. After spending years studying Jewish culture and practice, Bonnie committed to keeping the Sabbath holy and observing the rites that had become almost obscure in the world today. In her book, Sabbath, Bonnie discusses what makes the seventh day special; and through current traditions, songs, and Sabbath recipes, demonstrates how it can truly be a time of rest and communion with family and God. Join Bonnie in her rediscovery of an ancient ritual and see just how the Sabbath can be A Gift of Time.

Simplistic in nature but gives a good overview of sabbath. I like that it has the traditional prayers and elements in one place for me to reference.

[Aaron Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is very eye opening to the traditions around the Sabbath. I hope I will be able to incorporate some of these traditions very soon.

[Glen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is nothing special. There is a gloss of the history of Sabbath. There are recipes, songs, prayers, and a Sabbath meal guide. Overall, if you have a few hours give it a read. If not, leave it at the bookstore.

[Erin Sullivan · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a quick layman's study on the practice and the purpose of Sabbath in Jewish culture. It is a fast read that really gives you a great perspective on the why and the how o a sacred tradition that is centuries old.
