Abraham Joshua Heschel's "The Sabbath: Its Meaning for Modern Man," published by The Noonday Press / Farrar, Straus and Giroux in New York, is a seminal work on the spiritual and philosophical significance of the Sabbath in modern times. This edition, printed in 1990, is the seventeenth printing, showcasing the enduring relevance of Heschel's insights. The book is enhanced with wood engravings by Ilya Schor, adding a visual depth to the text. Heschel, a prominent Jewish theologian and philosopher, explores the Sabbath as a sanctuary in time, offering profound reflections on its role in Jewish life and beyond. This copy, previously part of a library collection, is a valuable resource for those interested in religious philosophy and Jewish studies. The book is in fair condition, with typical library markings, but remains a significant addition to any collection focusing on religious thought and practice.
