The Shabbat Effect by Alan Morinis; Bloomsbury Academic publisher; (c) 2025; 9798881-807870l 192 pages; publication date Nov. 13, 2025; $30. This story echoes Morinis’s vision of Shabbat as a weekly reset, allowing the soul to realign with the body’s pace. For example, Morinis might describe someone finding peace by unplugging from digital devices, showing how Shabbat’s rest mirrors divine intentionality to sanctify creation. The Shabbat Effect shines in its accessibility, with Morinis’s warm, jargon-free style making complex spiritual ideas relatable to Jews and non-Jews alike. Ultimately, The Shabbat Effect is a compelling, practical guide to harnessing Shabbat’s sacred rhythm for profound transformation.
