  Sabbath's Theater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sabbath's Theater (1995, ISBN 0679772596) is a novel by Philip Roth about the exploits of 64-year-old Mickey Sabbath.
Sabbath is an unproductive, out-of-work, former puppeteer with a strong affinity for whores, adultery, and casual sexual exploits.
Sabbath wonders whether he should just end it all, thereby heeding the advice of the ghost of his departed mother, a frequent visitor who urges suicide as the fitting end for his failed life.

Some of us have the luxury of making sabbaths of rest on many different days, and Friday evening and Saturday are not always the most convenient - but they are the most Jewish.
What if these Sabbath limits are not the punitive restrictions of grumpy, humorless ancestors, but rather useful boundaries that temporarily keep things out, so that other less familiar things may enter.
Shabbat is a patch of ground secured by a tiny fence, when we withdraw from the endless choices afforded us and listen, uncover what is ultimately important, remember what is quietly sacred.

On the first or second Sabbath evening that I preached, I saw that the Word was taking such powerful hold that at the close I called for those whose minds were made up, to come forward, publicly renounce their sins, and give themselves to Christ.
I stayed, at this time, at Auburn, six Sabbaths, preaching, as I have said, twice on the Sabbath, and twice during the week, and leaving all the rest of the labor for the pastor and members of the church.

 SUNDAY THE FIRST OF SABBATHS, by Charles Wesley Ewing (1958)
For the Jewish feasts are the Sabbath and `the Purification,' and Jewish also are the ceremonies of the lamps, and the feasts of unleavened bread, and the `littoral prayers,' all which institutions and practices are of course foreign from your gods.
The Catholic Church claims that it is the one true Church, the Apostolic Church; that the Sabbath was changed from Saturday to Sunday by the Apostles, who with their converts composed the Church in the beginning; therefore it was the Apostolic Church that made the change and the Catholic Church is the Apostolic Church.
If Saturday Sabbath advocates object to our worshipping on Sunday beause it is named after the Sun god, we similarly can object to their worshipping on Saturday because it is named after the god Saturn, and it was in honor of Saturn that the heathen had their Saturnalias of unrestrained debauchery and licentiousness.
