Observing the Sabbath might just be the most disregarded commandment. Why? Is it any harder than telling the truth or honoring our parents or NOT committing adultery? In some ways it the one that stands out because it just seems like it doesn’t belong. It’s not as serious as the others. It’s a commandment for people who have the luxury of setting their own schedule. Luann walks us through an exploration into the Hebrew roots of Sabbath, through the lens of her Isrealite-wannabe professor - and explains the difference in keeping the Sabbath and in Sabbath-keeping practices. And that unrelenting business of life that makes a day of rest seem both unattainable and lazy? Well, we talk about the root cause of that too. Anchors aweigh, Stowaways.
