How the Jews ruined Shabbat

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

In this session I make the case that Jews have subverted the radical potential of Shabbat. Not only is Shabbat observance too busy to offer true relaxation, but it also fails to challenge the ubiquity of work. Come and hear how we can make Shabbat a truly revolutionary time.
