Sacred Time

Meir Soloveichik begins this work with a sweeping statement: The Jewish calendar is a key that unlocks the very essence of Judaism. He contends that the secret of Jewish endurance is Sacred Time, that we find holiness not just in spaces but in time itself. Through its Calendar Rabbi Soloveichik suggests, Judaism developed a very particular philosophy of memory - indeed, an ethics of memory. In this full color edition, Rabbi Soloveitchik explores the calendar to reveal the holiness that underpins the Jewish experience and assures the Jewish people's eternity.
