As these prose poems reveal, so too does Shabbat. Here we meet Shabbat as familiar housemate, as the child whose presence transforms a family (sometimes in ways that outsiders can't understand), as a spreading tree, as an annoying friend who insists on being celebrated, as a child throwing water balloons, as a woman, as a man, as a bee, as the ocean... Through the lens of these deft, surprising, moving prose poems, all seventy of Shabbat's faces shine.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRachel Barenblat, author, \u003cem\u003eThe Velveteen Rabbi's Haggadah\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eTexts to the Holy\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.22 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51775757844768,"sku":"9781934730690","price":25.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/92e3c657ca0e74d3fa80816759ae8214.webp?v=1780466416","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-sabbath-bee-love-songs-to-shabbat-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
