About this audiobook
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”. Published as a non-profit private initiative, all book proceeds will go towards the Shabbat Project.
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?
Shabbat. 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. But also, how it gives us something more – the Divine gift of self-creation; how 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 or 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 three thousand years, Shabbat. 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.
