On Shabbat, which is a day of rest in Judaism, individuals are encouraged to engage in prayer, study, and family gatherings. It is a time to refrain from work and creative activities, focusing instead on spiritual reflection and community. Traditional practices include lighting candles, sharing meals, and attending synagogue services. Engaging in restful activities that enhance spiritual connection is highly valued.
