What makes time “sacred”? In this course, we will study key chapters from Sacred Time, where Rabbi Meir Soloveichik explores how the Jewish calendar shapes not only the rhythm of life but also our understanding of history, identity, and God. Through reflections on Shabbat, holidays, and historical anniversaries, Rabbi Soloveichik shows how Jewish timekeeping connects the present with the past and future, turning memory into meaning. Together, we will consider how time can be sanctified, and how living in “Jewish time” offers a countercultural perspective on what truly matters.
