During Shabbat, which begins at sunset on Friday and ends at nightfall on Saturday, Jewish families engage in rest and spiritual reflection. Traditional practices include lighting candles, reciting blessings, sharing festive meals, and attending synagogue services. It is a time for family gatherings, prayer, and refraining from work and electronic activities, allowing for a focus on community and spirituality. Additionally, activities such as reading, singing, and discussing Torah are common.
