Sabbath and the Art of Rest

For 25 hours each week, Jews are required to put aside all work related objects and activities. They are to abstain from activating any form of technological machinery, such as cars, televisions, computers, and phones. In fact, all devices that assist Jews in reaching out of themselves into the outer world and impacting it are off limits.

Sabbath reminds us that God invites us to stop. In fact, it’s more than an invitation—it’s a command.
