Shabbat, or the Sabbath, is a day of rest and is celebrated
every week from Friday night at sunset until Saturday
night at sundown (25 hours). God ordered its observance
in the Fourth Commandment, "Six days you shall labor
and do all of your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath
of God: you shall not do any work." (Exodus 20:9-10).
On Shabbat, you spend time with family, pray, read, and
rejuvenate. Many Jewish people light candles to symbolically ward off
the darkness and welcome the Divine.
