Jewish sabbath rules list...
The Sabbath is commanded by God
Every week religious Jews observe the Sabbath, the Jewish holy day, and keep its laws and customs.
The Sabbath begins at nightfall on Friday and lasts until nightfall on Saturday.
In practical terms the Sabbath starts a few minutes before sunset on Friday and runs until an hour after sunset on Saturday, so it lasts about 25 hours.
God commanded the Jewish People to observe the Sabbath and keep it holy as the fourth of the Ten Commandments.
The idea of a day of rest comes from the Bible story of the Creation: God rested from creating the universe on the seventh day of that first week, so Jews rest from work on the Sabbath.
Jews often call the day Shabbat, which is Hebrew for Sabbath, and which comes from the Hebrew word for rest.
A reminder of the Covenant
The Sabbath is part of the deal between God and the Jewish People, so celebrating it is a reminder of the Covenant and an occasion to rejoice in God's kept promises.
A gift from God
Most Jewish people look forward to Shabbat all week.
They see it as God's gift to his chosen people of a day
