Disc 1: Shabbat Special: Conserving The World

LISTEN TO
The Shabbat Special

windows media itunes media

Rabbi Ismar Schorsch, Chancellor Emeritus of the Jewish Theological Seminary, talks with host Larry Josephson about Shabbat (Shabbos), the Jewish Sabbath.

Rabbi Schorsch explains that the weekly observance of Shabbat, a day without work, is a way of conserving the Earth's resources, and of renewing oneself. Shabbat is a day of rest, reflection and prayer.

This discussion is intertwined with joyous music of Shabbat, with both sacred and secular selections chosen by Cantor Marcia Tilchin of Congregation B'nai Israel of Tustin, California. Many of those recordings are from Cantor Tilchin's private collection, and include some rarities.
