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.


Did god work on shabbat?

G-d did not create anything new on Shabbat; the 7th day of rest. All of creation was completed in the first 6 days of creation. Since then G-d has been maintaining the world, but not creating anything new. To commemorate this, Judaism defines 39 categories of creative work which are forbidden on Shabbat. E.g.: baking, planting and lighting fires. See http://www.answers.com/topic/39-categories-of-activity-prohibited-on-shabbat for an introduction to these 39 categories.
