By: Bruce Manners Sabbath from Hebrew Shabbat (meaning, to cease or to rest) 1. a time of rest. 2. the seventh day of the week, often from Friday evening to Saturday evening, is observed as a day of rest and worship by Jews and some Christians. Taking a Sabbath each week is an opportunity to focus on what's important in life - for your life. Sabbath is indeed an ancient concept, but taking a day each week for what's important is a growing trend and it has proven positive for individuals, couples, families, and seniors. In a sense, it's an ancient solution for the modern problem of a too-busy life. With insights from doctors, psychologists, and a rabbi, author Bruce Manners explores the physical, mental, social, emotional, and spiritual advantages of taking one day a week - a Sabbath - to rest. Sabbath can help bring back a rhythm to life that not only enhances life but also helps give it more purpose and meaning.
