Commentary by Rabbi Alexander S. Kline

Glowing forms and colors, expressive of joy and exaltation, spell out the word Sabbath. A mighty hand warns against breaking the holiness and beauty of the day on which God rested. The Sabbath must be dedicated to rest and restoring the work-weary soul through instruction and inspiration.
