Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a journey through the Sabbath's role in Jewish history from the period of Nehemiah to the second century C.E. It delves into the origins and development of the Sabbath as a highly observed practice, exploring the influence of different historical figures, Rabbinical authorities, and societal pressures on its evolution. The author analyzes ancient literary sources, including the works of Josephus, Philo, and pagan writers such as Plutarch, Apion, and Tacitus, to shed light on Jewish religious practices and the attitudes of non-Jews towards them. The book highlights the resilience of the Jewish community in preserving their traditions amidst persecution and oppression, and it examines the various interpretations and modifications of Sabbath observance that emerged in response to changing circumstances. Through its exploration of the Sabbath's historical, social, and religious significance, this book provides valuable insights into the development of Jewish identity and the role of religious observance in shaping the Jewish experience.
