Shabbat is a weekly day of rest and spiritual enrichment in Judaism, observed from Friday evening to Saturday evening. It commemorates the biblical creation story, where God rested on the seventh day. During this time, Jewish families gather for meals, prayers, and reflection, often lighting candles and reciting blessings.
The observance of Shabbat includes various prohibitions, such as refraining from work and using electronic devices. Instead, activities focus on family, community, and religious practices. Traditional meals often feature challah bread and wine, and many attend synagogue services to enhance their spiritual experience.
