Sabbath—the Agency
Of Perfection in
The Life of the Jew
By RABBI ISAAC STOLLMAN
"And G-d had finished on the
seventh day MS work which He
had made" (Gen. 11-2), and thus
Creation had been completed by
the time the seventh day had
arrived and the institution of the
Sabbath had found its inception.
This is not a mere abstract spec-
ulation, but it is of the very
bone and marrow of our experi-
ence as a people.
The Sabbath had imported
meaning and content into our
lives; the Sabbath had given to
the world faith in G-d, a belief
that human beings had a spark
of the divine in them, a belief
that the whole of Creation is
pervaded with the spirit of G-d.
The Sabbath had given form
and meaning to our lives as Jews.
It had been the prime factor
which had rendered our lives
complete. The Midrash rightly
calls the Sabbath the faithful
helpmate of the Jewish people.
Unified Agency
This sacred day has been an
unifying agency, a means for ex-
pressing ourselves , as members
of society. It has furthermore
determined the pattern of our
daily doings during the week
days.
In Europe, for example, where
there were no distinct social or-
ganizations to direct Jewish life
and activity, the Sabbath per-
formed that office, giving ex-
pression to Jewish social needs,
effecting solidarity and coopera-
tion among the members of the
community.
The Bible rightly states that
when Moses had taught the Jews
concerning their social behavior
and obligations, he had stressed
above all else the Sabbath as
occupying the most important
place in the community.
All over the country, in the
larger Jewish centers, a move-
ment is on foot for Sabbath ob-
servance.
Help Restore Sabbath
The Rabbis are persuaded that
the Jewish grocers should be able
to help restore the Sabbath to
its position of primacy in Jewish
life, by constituting themselves
the pioneers in this great effort.
Jewish grocers! you have been
afforded the privilege of helping
in the historic task of leading the
people back to Sabbath observ-
ance, something for which gener-
ations to come will bless you.
Close your stores on this day of
rest!
May the blessing of G-d be
upon you all, and may you all
feel the joy and repose to become
your lot as a reward for observ-
ing the rest of the sacred Sabbath
Day!
