The Sabbath (Volume 5)

Frequently, our sages emphasize the importance of regularly studying the laws and deepening their understanding. This is the essential condition for fully experiencing a day of bliss that radiates throughout one's life. In order to make the richness of these Halakhot and explanations accessible to all French-speaking Jews, we have gleaned them from numerous reference works and attempted to present them as succinctly as possible in our four-volume series, Shabbat. Over the years, we have received countless questions from readers who, in their regular practice, have encountered specific and sometimes unexpected situations that we had not addressed for the sake of brevity: What should one do if one does not have two challahs for Kiddush? What are the Kabbalistic recommendations regarding the lighting of candles or Kiddush? And many others, from Shabbat preparations to Havdalah, including the serving of meals and the daily services. In addition to the fascinating writings and accounts of eminent Masters that illuminate the grandeur of Shabbat, we have examined numerous situations that may arise in relation to the 39 Prohibited Labors, as well as the practices advocated by Kabbalah, hoping that reading this book will allow everyone to deepen their experience of this holy day. Happy reading!
