Your Favorite Things About Israel

Shabbat is the most special day of the Jewish week, the ultimate day of rest, on which dozens or perhaps hundreds of books, psalms and many piyutim were written. Every week we bring Shabbat to our house, but have we ever stopped to think why it is so important? And what really distinguishes Shabbat from the rest of the week? Is it just a respite from the physical world ??

Rabbi David Menachem introduces us to the person who was known as one of the greatest lovers of the Sabbath - Rabbi Avraham Ibn Ezra, who wrote the special piyyut,"Ki Eshmerah Shabat" in which he reveals to us the sanctity of Shabbat and its significance.
