Chapter Chapter 6 in Handbook of Faith and Spirituality in the Workplace, 2013, pp 85-101 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides a brief introduction to some central concepts in Judaism that have relevance for work. Topics covered include the holiness of work, the concept of work as a spiritual gymnasium, the importance of shifting from greed to abundance in the business world, a spiritual understanding of difficulties as the chastenings of love, and the centrality of gratitude and service. This chapter concludes with suggestions for staying on the path through three practices of avodah: work, service, and prayer.
