Judaism, he argues, is a religion of time: it finds meaning not in space and the materials things that fill it but in time and the eternity that imbues it, so that 'the Sabbaths are our greatcatherdrals.'

I would encourage this book to be read to glean from the wisdom of Jewish beleifs. Challenges the western philiosophy in many areas. This is somewhat heady if Jewish writing doesn't interest you but definately worth the read!
