Exhilarating Torah Insights on Recreation and Vacation
Exhilarating Torah Insights on Recreation and Vacation
Bein hazmanim arrives and nobody quite knows what a Yid is supposed to do with it. Is rest a concession, or is it part of the work?
Forty-nine essays on the hours that are your own — being burned out and being fired up, the Jew and the gym, music and what it does to a person, what may be played at a wedding, and the difference between rest that restores and rest that empties.
Built on Shabbos, Taanis, Megillah and Kiddushin, with the Chazon Ish, the Vilna Gaon and the Rambam.
For bein hazmanim, and for anyone who has wondered whether he is allowed to enjoy it.
Rabbi Yehoshua Alt has written thirteen seforim in the Insights series, and writes the weekly Fascinating Insights sheet carried on JewishPress.com.
