Shabbat – Even Deeper Ideas- This week is ‎ Shabbat Hagadol

About this episode

This episode explores the unique aspects of Shabbat in Judaism and its historical significance.

Based on seven simple questions how and why Shabbat is different from every other Mitzvah-‎commandment in Judaism, this podcast will show how Shabbat changed throughout history and, although ‎other religions have a "day of rest", Shabbat is uniquely Jewish and the mystical engine that keeps the ‎world going. ‎
