NARRATIVE APOLOGETICS AND JEWISH OBSERVANCE: THE SABBATH, ONCE MORE

Dr. Steve Weiland will present a paper, “Narrative Apologetics and Jewish Observance: The Sabbath, Once More.” He considers journalist Judith Shulevitz and her acclaimed book, The Sabbath World: Glimpses of a Different Order of Time. She offers a vivid historical and autobiographical account of the Sabbath and what it means today, including the impact of technology on Jewish practices.
