From the father of our Secular movement:
“The most beautiful of the Jewish days is Shabes, the holiday with social significance. For the first time, the idea of the right to rest was proclaimed for the slave and for the worker-a right which is much more important than the world-renowned “right to work” with which so many utopians hoped to solve the problems of society. Humanity still does not have the right to rest and never will have it, until the foundations of life are rebuilt in accordance with the principles of social justice. It should be a source of pride to Jews that the first kernels of the idea came from our tradition.” — Chaim Zhitlovsky
