Rhythms of Rest Shabbat Booklet

Jewish Farmer Network is proud to present Rhythms of Rest, a beautifully illustrated resource exploring Shabbat through the lens of the land and those who tend it.

Drawing from ancient Jewish wisdom and the lived experiences of contemporary farmers, Rhythms of Rest offers reflections, stories, and practical guidance on the art of pausing. Six days on, one day off. Across its pages, farmers, rabbis, and writers share how the sacred rhythm of Shabbat can restore body, mind, and spirit amid the cycles of agricultural work.

This booklet reminds us that rest is not an indulgence – it’s an inheritance. With illustrations by Sol Yael Weiss and contributions from Benjamin DuBow, Shani Mink, Noah Weinberg, and Liel Green, Rhythms of Rest invites readers to rediscover Shabbat as an ancestral spiritual technology for regulation, renewal, and joy.

May this resource help you carve out moments of holy rest, wherever you farm, teach, or grow.
