Hardcover. Condition: Good. Schor, Ilya (illustrator). Elegant, passionate, and filled with the love of God's creation, Abraham Hoshua Heschel's The Sabbath has been hailed as a classic of Jewish spirituality ever since its original publication in 1951-and has been read by thousands of people of many faiths seeking meaning in modern life. In this brief yet profound meditation on the meaning of the Seventh Day, Heschel introduced the enormously influential idea of an "architecture of holiness" that appears not in space but in time. Judaism, he argues, is the religion of time: it finds meaning not in space and the material things that fill it but in time and the eternity that imbues it, so that "the Sabbaths are our great cathedrals.".

The main part of this essay was contained in a paper read at the annual conference of the Yiddish Scientific Institute in January 1945. Abraham Joshua Heschel possessed the gift of laying out the complex spiritual, philosophical, ethical, and practical religious aspects of the Jewish people with utter and disarming simplicity, yet without sacrificing any of the innate complexities and deep cultural texture which being Jewish signifies, both inwardly in the close-knit Jewish community from which strength and survival issue forth, and outwardly in the larger world with its near-omnipresent challenges to daily existence. Two years after publishing this book, Dr. Heschel wrote "The Sabbath: Its Meaning For Modern Man"; it remains the richest yet most simple introduction to observing the Sabbath, we've ever come across. In it Heschel discusses a people from whom, historically, everything - land, possessions, freedom, status has been repeatedly, and often violently taken away, and yet to continue on, with fierce commitment to God, to a life of devotion and generosity to the community, they have created a "Palace In Time", which, being private, inward, intangible, nobody can ever take away. This "Palace" is none other than regular, weekly observation of the Sabbath. ".The story about the life of the Jews in Eastern Europe which has come to an end in our days is what I have tried to tell in this essay. I have not talked about their books, their art or institutions, but about their daily life, about their habits and customs, about their attitudes toward the basic things in life, about the scale of values which directed their aspirations. It is a story about an entire era in Jewish history, in which the attempt is made to portray the character of a people as reflected in its way of living throughout generations, in its loyalties and motivations, in its unique and enduring features The pattern of life of a people is more significant than the pattern of its art. What counts most is not expression, but existence itself. The key to the source of creativity lies in the will to cling to spirituality, to be close to the inexpressible, and not merely in the ability of expression. To appraise adquately the East European period in Jewish history, I had to inquire into the life-feeling and life-style of the people. This led to the conclusion that in this period, our people attained the highest degree of inwardness. I feel justified in saying that it was the golden period in Jewish history, in the history of the Jewish soul." (From A. J. Heschel's Introduction) "In 1930 there were in Europe about nine and a half million Jews. About eight and a quarter fell under Nazi domination. Of these, six million were exterminated. Jews had lived in Europe for almost two thousand years. They helped to create its civilizatiohn, they contributed their share to its economy, its science, its art. But over and above their contributions to general culture, they preserved a great tradition: the heritage of Moses, the legacy of their prophets and saages. All this has vanished. Who were these people? What did they stand for? What made their role important in the history of mankind.? (from Publisher's Preface by Henry Schuman).

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Schor, Ilya (illustrator). In Yiddish. 391, (2) pages. 28 x 18.6 cm. Jacob Glatstein (Yankev Glatshteyn; Jacob Glatshteyn)(20 August 1896 Lublin, Poland ? 19 November 1971 New York City) was a poet and literary critic who wrote in Yiddish. Although his family identified with the Jewish Enlightenment movement, he received a traditional education until the age of 16 and an introduction to modern Yiddish literature. In 1914, due to increasing anti-Semitism in Lublin, he immigrated to New York City, where his uncle lived. He worked in sweatshops while studying English, started to study law at New York University in 1918, worked briefly as a teacher, then switched to journalism. He married in 1919. In 1920, together with Aaron Glanz-Leyles (1889-1966) and N. B. Minkoff (1898-1958), Glatstein established the Inzikhist (Introspectivist) literary movement and founded the literary organ In Sich. The Inzikhist credo rejected metered verse and declared that non-Jewish themes were a valid topic for Yiddish poetry. His books of poetry include Jacob Glatshteyn (1921) and A Jew from Lublin (1966). He was also a regular contributor to the New York Yiddish daily Morgen-Zhurnal and the Yiddisher Kemfer in which he published a weekly column entitled "In Tokh Genumen" (The Heart of the Matter). Glatstein was interested in exotic themes, and in poems that emphasized the sound of words. He traveled to Lublin in 1934 and this trip gave he came to believe that war in Europe is increasingly likely. After this trip, he returned to writing on Jewish themes, including works that eerily foreshadowed the holocaust. After the Second World War, he became known for passionate poems written in response to the Holocaust, but many of his poems also evoke golden memories and thoughts about eternity. Only later in life did he win acclaim as an outstanding figure of mid-20th-century American Yiddish literature, winning the Louis Lamed Prize in 1940 for his works of prose, and again in 1956 for a volume of collected poems titled From All My Toil.
