An exceptional introduction to Judaism from its key point, its point of completion: the Shabbat.
Contrary to popular belief, the Shabbat, a human and divine reality, can neither be reduced to nor compared with the Lord’s Day, Sunday. It is a real foundation stone, a root that brings the sap up to the fruits of the tree, and it is more like a springboard that leads to an eighth day when the world will be entirely Shabbat and repose.
In so doing, it sheds a strong light on the resurrection of Jesus, which represents the first sign of that One Day when all will be invited to enter the repose of eternal life.
