Shabbat is the Jewish day of rest, 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 to welcome the Sabbath. On Shabbat, work is traditionally prohibited, allowing individuals to focus on spiritual growth and family connections. Activities like driving, using electronics, and cooking are generally avoided. Instead, people engage in meaningful conversations, study religious texts, and enjoy festive meals, fostering a sense of community and peace.
