| the 'soul' of Judaism, declared holy by God and will always be an integral part of Judaism for this reason, brings religious life from home (domestic sphere) to synagogue (public sphere); rest from all kinds of work, even the thought of work. Not meant to be burdensome, but freeing: "The Sabbath is given unto you, not you unto the Sabbath" (The Sabbath 17); much preparation is done beforehand, because no work should be done on the actual day. Time is spent with God. One is not to worry about tasks, problems, etc. (see Leviticus 23: 3). Observance of the Sabbath is the quintessential way to show devotion to God. After the destruction of the Temple, Jews had to decide what made them different than other cultures and what parts of their culture should be preserved. It was decided that the Sabbath marks Jewish culture. |
