The same as its significance today. The origin of the Shabbat is in the Torah (Genesis ch.2, Leviticus ch.23, Exodus ch.20 and many other passages). The Sabbath is a day blessed by God (Genesis ch.2), which He gave it to the Israelites as a treasured gift to be cherished (Talmud, Beitzah 15b). It is a day of rest (Exodus ch.20, ch.31), and a day of strengthening ties with the family, the community, and with God.

Why do Jewish children leave school early on sabbath day?

Infact, on sabbath day Jews don't learn. It's a Saturday, the way kids don't learn in Europe, America, and more. But the Jewish do leave school early on Friday, because it's the day before the day of rest. Sabbath is the day of rest because that's the day god rest after making the world. A lot of schools don't even learn on Friday.It's kind of like the fact the schools in America don't learn on Sunday and Saturday.ANSWER 2:Judaism follows the lunar Hebrew calendar (Christianity, a solar calendar) and its Sabbath begins at sunset Friday and ends at sunset Saturday. Leaving school early on Fridays, especially in the shorter winter days, ensures that the children are home before sunset in order to observe the Sabbath.
