What is Shabbat?

Shabbat (Hebrew: שַׁבָּת, also known as “Shabbos” or the “Sabbath”) is the Jewish day of rest and celebration that begins on Friday before sunset and ends on the following evening after nightfall. It is ushered in with (late afternoon) candlelighting, prayers, and feasting on braided bread and other delicacies. And its end is marked with a multisensory ceremony as well.
