theologian and scholar, Moses Maimonides, is considered “the most influential Jewish thinker of the middle ages, and quite possibly of all time.” In contemporary society, he continues to influence Jewish adherents’ practices and way of life.

At one time the people of Israel were obedient and grateful to God. They understood his powers, were grateful for their deliverance from Egypt, and sought to obey God’s commands. However, as time transpired the people of Israel became more and more corrupt. They began worshipping other God’s, putting their wants and “needs” first, and were disobeying the teachings of God. Watching all these sins transpire, God could have punished all his people for sinning. But instead, he made an example…

Sabbath Exodus 20:8 states “Remember the Sabbath and keep it Holy” (NIV). Though the Sabbath is vital piece of spiritual formation and a command from God, the author has unfortunately been very poor at observing one. Life is busy. With one child at school and one at home, spouse working at the church, being a pastor of a church that has multiple services on Sundays and nearly every week activities on nearly every day of the week, the author has found it difficult to not only take personal time…
