• R. Abraham Ibn Ezra Receives a Letter From the Shabbat
Queen (1159)
R. Abraham Ibn Ezra was visiting London when, one Friday night, he had a
fascinating dream. In it, a venerable man approached him and handed
him a letter from the Shabbat Queen. R. Abraham read
the letter, in which Shabbat informed him that one of his students
had attempted to prove that Shabbat begins Saturday morning, and not
Friday night, and beseeched his assistance. As a result of this
dream, R. Abraham wrote his Epistle of Shabbat, in which he
demonstrates beyond doubt that Shabbat indeed begins Friday night.
