Shabbat shalom

Miriam Neiger painting of Jerusalem
“Zion is in ruins, Jerusalem lies in the dust. All week there is only hope of redemption. But when the Sabbath is entering the world, [we are] touched by a moment of actual redemption; as if for a moment the spirit of the Messiah moved over the face of the earth.”
Abraham Joshua Heschel, The Sabbath. New York: Farrar Straus and Giroux, 1979. 68.
