Shabbat arrives as usual, dressed in silk with her hair and make-up beautifully arranged. So begins The Sabbath Bee by Wilhelmina Gottschalk, which updates the millenia-old genre of Jewish Sabbath poetry for todays world. Torah, say our sages, has seventy faces. As these prose poems reveal, so too does Shabbat.

Through the lens of these deft, surprising, moving prose poems, all seventy of Shabbats faces shine. Rachel Barenblat, author, The Velveteen Rabbis Haggadah and Texts to the Holy
