Nefesh

Abraham Joshua Heschel, visionary, scholar, theologian, wrote, “Every seventh day a miracle comes to pass, the resurrection of the soul, of the soul of man and the soul of all things.   A medieval sage declared: The world which was created in six days was a world without a soul.   This is why it is said: ‘and on the seventh day He rested, vayinnafash’ (Exodus 31:17): nefesh means a soul.”
