How does refraining from work really bring us any closer to the higher purpose of Shabbos? Rabbi Berkovits differentiates between the spiritual reality of Shabbos and the other six days. In comparing the act of creation to building the tabernacle in the desert, hear how the reality of Shabbos, nature, and evil interact to make our ‘rest' on Shabbos a vital factor for world stability.

The Sabbath - a special gift that God gave to the Jewish people - a day of rest, and a day for growing closer to God. It is a day to step back from our hectic lives, take a deep breath, and refocus on who we are and where we would like to see ourselves in the future.
