What is the importance of shabbat?
Shabbat is very important because it gives you a chance to
rest.
In Rabbinical Times, the sabbath (Shabbat) was important for
everybody, because everybody worked every other day.
Shabbat is also a time for connection to God, and to find
spiritual meaning, as well as a time for family and friend to get
together.
Me, being Jewish, and many Jews find that Shabbat is a great
time to go over the weeks' events and to remember who you were kind
to, and who you weren't.
