Rabbi Stein Sermon Resources 2023/5783

Shabbat Resources mentioned in Rabbi Stein’s Sermon (and many others he didn’t mention!):

The Sabbath, by Abraham Joshua Heschel (with an introduction by his daughter Susannah Heschel).

Book that featured in Rabbi Stein’s sermon: THE SABBATH WORLD: Glimpses of a Different Order of Time, by Judith Shulevitz.

Ezra Klein’s interview with Shulevitz:

Julian Zelizer’s recent book about Heschel: Abraham Joshua Heschel: A Life of Radical Amazement

GREAT ARTICLE: “I worried I’d miss election news on Shabbat. What happened was so much better”

ANOTHER GOOD ONE: “Shabbat coronation means chief rabbi must walk to abbey” – The Times of London

“Arianna Huffington Wants You To Observe Shabbat — And Switch Off Your Devices”

Good New York Times article: “Shabbat Is a Salve, and a Scene After pandemic separation and a recent surge in antisemitism, more young people — Jewish and not — seem to be celebrating the sabbath.”

Rabbi Or Rose’s article mentioned in sermon.

Tiffany Shlain wrote a book about her practice of “technology Shabbat” with her family: 24/6: Giving up Screens One Day a Week to Get More Time, Creativity, and Connection

Many video interviews with her can found on that web page and elsewhere online.

This is a good piece from the Harvard Business Review that quotes Shlain and other good books and research.
