The Sabbath is a work by Abraham Joshua Heschel about the theological and metaphysical importance of the Jewish day of rest, the Sabbath (or Shabbat). This article shows that The Sabbath has often been overlooked and understudied in philosophical understandings of Heschel's work, and it suggests that this is perhaps due to misunderstandings about the differences between the realms of space and time in the work. This article suggests that the dichotomy between space and time ought better to be understood as differing orientations, drawing from the phenomenologist work of Sara Ahmed. Additionally, gender plays a significant role in Heschel's The Sabbath and in a way which has been largely neglected by academic scholarship
