Sabbath is a day of rest for people who follow Judaism. It occurs on the seventh day of the week and is considered a holy day of rest.
Answer:
The Jewish Sabbath is from Friday sundown until Saturday after twilight. Its origin is in the Torah (Genesis ch.2, Leviticus ch.23, Exodus ch.20 and many other passages).
The Sabbath is considered in Judaism to be a day blessed by God (Genesis ch.2), a day of rest (Exodus ch.20, ch.31), and a day of strengthening ties with the family, the community, and with God.
Here is further background information:
There are two main aspects to Shabbat observance: what we do and what we don't do.
What we don't do: we're not permitted to work on the Shabbat (Exodus ch.20). This includes 39 categories of productive interaction with the world, such as planting, writing, kindling fire, etc. (Talmud, Shabbat 73b).
What we do: candles are lit, customarily by the lady of the household, around 20 minutes before sunset on Friday afternoon. We then attend synagogue for the Friday afternoon prayer (mincha), the kabbalat Shabbat (ushering in of the Shabbat), and the Shabbat evening prayer (maariv).
On Shabbat morning, we again attend synagogue. The services are longer than on weekdays and include prayers as well as reading the weekly Torah-portion. There's often a kiddush (refreshments) afterwards, and congregants have a chance to schmooze (to talk). Towards the late afternoon, there's another (short) service (Shabbat mincha).
After Friday night services and on Shabbat morning after services, we come home, often with guests, make kiddush (blessing over wine), and have a leisurely multi-course Shabbat meal including singing and words of Torah. Customarily, that week's Torah-reading (parsha) will be a topic of conversation; and the children of the family will have a chance to speak of what they've learned in school.
After that, Shabbat is a quiet time: no phones, radio or TV (etc.), just schmoozing, taking walks, visiting friends, reading, learning Torah, playing Board Games, etc. Husband and wife, in particular, finally have a chance to be together after a hectic week.

What is the last meal of the sabbath?

Are you to have bread and wine on the Sabbath day?
A Jew is to have bread with every meal, if he can afford it, and to begin the meal by reciting a blessing in gratitude to the one who makes it possible for him to have the bread. Whatever the eating habits of the Jew may be, the three Sabbath meals should be the best, even if they can only be slightly better than the others. Wine is a most appropriate embellishment for a Sabbath meal, and in fact the Sabbath dinner and lunch ideally should both begin with blessings over wine, in gratitude to the one who makes it possible for the Jew to have the wine.

What is a Shalshudith service in a synagogue?
The mysterious word in the question is a corruption of the Hebrew "shalosh sudos", which means "three meals". Since the sabbath is supposed to include three meals, the Saturday afternoon activities in many synagogues include a meal between the afternoon and evening services. The meal is called either "shalosh sudos" ... three meals ... or "sudah shlishis" ... "third meal". Shalosh Sudos as such is not a 'service'. It's just a meal. A 'meal' consists of washing the hands with the blessing, eating bread with the blessing, hearing words of Torah, and saying grace. A sabbath meal typically adds a few songs around the table that deal with the spiritual aspects of the Sabbath. Anything in addition to these is an embellishment of the basic meal.
