Jeremy Rosen on the Torah Episode 8 (Breishit/Genesis Part 7)

The Sabbath is a day of rest. But what we are resting from, how we rest, and why we rest are not immediately obvious without a closer examination of the text. Who makes the Sabbath a holy day, and how, are also dependent on an understanding of both the Hebrew words and the context in which the Torah was given. Rabbi Jeremy Rosen discusses these topics in Episode 8, focusing on Genesis 2:1-3.
