Best Answer

Sabbath is a set period of time observed from 20 minutes before sunset on Friday until 40 minutes after sunset on Saturday. While nothing is truly necessary to "close" sabbath per se, orthodox Jews will pray the evening prayers and perform a ritual called "Havdalah", which means separation. This is meant to distinguish between the holiness of the sabbath and the mundaness of the week. Sabbath observant Jews will perform the havdalah ceremony before resuming week like activities (i.e. driving, making calls, turning on lights). However from a strict Jewish law perspective, one may simply say, "Sabbath is over" to legally start activities, provided that the 40 minutes after sunset has passed.
