The Gift of Rest: Rediscovering the Beauty of the Sabbath
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/jewishprideradio/2011/06/29/the-gift-of-rest-rediscovering-the-beauty-of-the-sabbath
The Sabbath is a gift that Senator Joe Lieberman, as an observant Jew, received from his parents who, in turn, received it from their parents, who received it from generations of Jews before them. According to ancient tradition, the line of transmission extends back to Moses at Mt. Sinai, who received the Sabbath as the fourth of the Ten Commandments. In this book, Lieberman will offer the gift of Sabbath observance—a gift that has anchored, ordered, and inspired his life—to readers of all faiths.
In the past century, the Sabbath has fallen on hard times. It is thought of as just another day or as a time to squeeze in some extra errands or recreation that you may have missed during the workweek. The weekend passes in a blur of often meaningless activity. Combining personal and political memoir with history and broadly informed religious reflection, this book is a practical how-to guide, with simple suggestions for introducing the Sabbath into your own life. It will be a very personal book, yet also one animated by reflections on history and larger social trends. It will also include profound reflections of both classical and modern Jewish sages, from the Talmud and the ancient Jewish prayer book, the Siddur, to Maimonides, to Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel and Rabbi Soloveitchik.

Given the continuing turmoil in the Middle East and the escalation in violence against Israel, the United States must keep its commitment to Israel's security by funding pledged aid for fiscal year 2012. Dramatic events in the Middle East underscore both the fragility of Israel's security situation and Israel's importance as the regions's sole stable, pro-Western democracy.
