Do jews celebrate the sabbath

Answer 1

The Torah contains 613 commandments which Jews are meant to follow. Some of these only apply to specific people and some no longer apply, but the rest are still observed today by Orthodox Jews. The Sabbath is just one of these commandments. It does have a central place in Jewish community life.

Answer 2

Yes, based on tradition and on Genesis ch.2. The Jewish Sabbath is from Friday sundown until Saturday after twilight.

(In modern Israel, the work-week takes this into account, and lasts from Sunday morning until Friday afternoon.)

Answer 3

Jews celebrate the sabbath every week. The sabbath starts on Friday night, and it ends on Saturday night. The sabbath influences Jews by doing good deeds, like praying on the sabbath. You cant touch anything on the sabbath that has to do anything with electricity because that is part of the law that is written in the Jews Bible. You also cannot draw, or color on the sabbath. The sabbath influences us the Jews by becoming pure, and not messing up.
