شبات (Shabbat)
شبات (Shabbat) is a weekly day of rest and spiritual enrichment in Judaism, observed from Friday evening to Saturday evening. It commemorates the creation of the world, as described in the Torah, where God rested on the seventh day. During this time, Jewish families gather for meals, prayers, and study, refraining from work and certain activities to focus on spirituality and community.
The observance of شبات includes various rituals, such as lighting candles, reciting blessings, and sharing festive meals. Traditional foods like challah bread and wine are often part of the celebration. This day serves as a reminder of the importance of rest, reflection, and family in Jewish life.
