Our guiding text for Advent this year will be The Sabbath by Abraham Joshua Heschel. Copies are available in the back of the church. On your own, with your household, and among our church groups, you are invited to study and discuss Rabbi Heschel’s book, following the parish reading schedule:
Week One (for November 30): read the introduction (pp. i – xvi)
What rituals bring you peace?
Week Two (for December 7): read the Prologue and first two chapters (pp. pp. 1 – 32)
How do you understand holiness?
Week Three (for December 14): read Section 2 (pp. 34-63)
How do you find God in the everyday? Can human work be holy?
Week Four (for December 21): read Section 3 (pp. – 101)
What do rest and re-creation look like for you?
