Listen now

Description

For Jews and Christians, the Sabbath is a very special time. Or at least is should be. For many, it's nothing more than a day off from work, if that. But there is a movement afoot to reclaim this restorative tradition. As one interviewee states, "Jews don't have sacred space, they have sacred time."
