Description: "This volume is a collection of essays dealing with the nature and value of work, in classic Jewish literature. Among his conclusions, Schnall underscores the inherent dignity of labor, equated with life itself and an integral component of God's grand balance. Workers must be treated with respect and compassion as servants of God, partners in the human family and heirs to a glorious spiritual heritage. Like their employers they must be assured time for household, community and personal development.

Fulfillment can never result from work-related productivity and financial success alone."--BOOK JACKET.
