Underlying Values and Concepts of Shabbat

from What Does Judaism Say About...? · host Rabbi Dr. Nachum Amsel

Shabbat is a unique and difficult concept – a day that is uniquely Jewish, and has helped the Jewish ‎people remain alive as a people since the Torah was given. How and why is this so? The Torah gives two ‎reasons why the Shabbat was given. This podcast will examine the macro and micro of these reasons and ‎Shabbat and why it makes more sense to keep Shabbat in the 21st century than in the 13th century.
