Deepen your understanding of Shabbat,
awaken to the possibilities,
and experience the day with an
extra measure of holiness.
Seventh Heaven delves
into the art of consciously observing Shabbat—exploring
many of the day’s traditional religious practices within
the context of life’s spiritual dynamics. With the help
and wisdom of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov—one of the most
important of the early Hasidic masters—this guidebook
offers insight into the deeper meaning and purpose of a broad
range of Shabbat observances and seeks to show how each custom
or law fits within the whole.
In accessible, easy-to-understand
language, 7th Heaven is a spiritual guide for all levels of
Shabbat observance:
-
If Shabbat is new to you, or
you’ve experienced it only in its popular form, but would
like to deepen your understanding and connection.
-
If Shabbat is something you grew up
with, but you were never taught the inner meaning of all the
customs and laws you were told to obey.
-
If Shabbat has never been a part of
your spiritual practice, but you would like to learn more about
the Jewish pathway to wholeness and higher consciousness.
Based on the teachings of Rebbe Nachman of
Breslov (1772–1810) and those of his closest disciple,
Reb Noson, the deep insights into Torah and spirituality
revealed by these great Hasidic luminaries are as relevant in
today’s world as they were some two centuries ago, when
they were first taught.
“A wonderful skylight into the
mystery, beauty, and holiness of traditional Sabbath
observance, refracted through the teachings of one of the great
rebbes of all time.”
