Description:The Sabbath has been one of the most significant and beloved institutions of Jewish life since late antiquity. Over a period of several centuries, the classical Kabbalists developed a rich body of ritual and myth that articulated a fresh vision of the Sabbath. The mystical understanding of the Sabbath was assimilated by virtually every Jewish community.

This important text, the most systematic treatment of the Sabbath in classical Kabbalah, has been inaccessible to the English reader until now.
