Sod Ha Shabbat: The Mystical Architecture of the Sabbath

In-depth Version https://rachav.org/sod-ha-shabbat-the... Based on a summary and notes from Elliot K. Ginsburg’s Sod Ha-Shabbat: The Mystery of the Sabbath provides a scholarly investigation into the mystical and Kabbalistic dimensions of the Jewish day of rest. Primarily examining the 16th-century work Tola’at Ya’aqov by Meir ibn Gabbai, the sources describe the Sabbath as a cosmic drama where the earthly and divine realms achieve a harmonious union. Key themes include the theurgical power of rituals, such as candle lighting and festive meals, which are viewed as tools for spiritual elevation and the restoration of cosmic balance. The text highlights the concept of the Sabbath-soul and the day’s role as an eschatological foretaste of ultimate redemption and divine unity. Ultimately, Ginsburg portrays these traditions as a bridge between structured ritual and an ecstatic, transformative experience of the divine presence.
