The beauty of Jewish spirituality


“The beauty of Jewish spirituality is precisely that in Judaism, G-d is close. You don’t need to climb a mountain or enter an ashram to find the Divine Presence. It is there around the table at a Shabbat meal, in the light of the candles, and the simple holiness of the Kiddush wine, and the challot, in the praise of the Eishet Hayil, and the blessing of children, in the peace of mind that comes when you leave the world to look after itself for a day while you celebrate the good things that come not from working but resting, not from buying but enjoying, the gifts you have had all along but did not have time to appreciate.”

Rabbi Lord Jonathon Sacks
