Sfas Emes The Gift of Shabbos
Ideas and Insights on the tefillos, seudos and hashkafah of ShabbosBy Rabbi Yehudah Alter
Edited by Rabbi Yosef Stern
(558 Pages)Publisher: Artscroll, 2005
For nearly a century, Rabbi Yehudah Aryeh Alter of Ger' s classic Sfas Emes has been the challenging and provocative fare of outstanding scholars. But the concise and complex language and thought process of this classic were daunting to all but a select few. But Rabbi Yosef Stern has distilled these profound; scintillating , pithy, incredibly rich discourses into enlightening and inspiring English essays.
The Gift of Shabbos is a clear and brilliant work. Among the topics it explores are: Melachah (creative work), Menuchah (rest), Shabbos as a Divine gift, the three meals, Lechem Mishneh (the two loaves of bread), Oneg (delight) Shabbos, Shabbos as a microcosm of the World to Come, a commentary on the Kabbalas Shabbos service.
In addition , it features an introduction to the Sfas Emes' mode of thought, which includes a treatment of the sage' s approach to such concepts as Nekudah Hapenimis and Hashgachah Pratis.
