during all of the moon's phases.

What would a Jewish housewife prepare for the sabbath?
Two hot meals, one for the evening and one for lunch, preferably including fish and meat, though if one prefers other foods that's fine, the main thing is to be satisfied and to enjoy oneself. There is a third meal which is eaten before sunset but that is generally a lighter meal, especially since people are usually full from lunch. There are no absolute rules, other than one should eat a small amount of bread during the three meals, and make kiddush prior to the first two.
What restrictions do practicing Jews follow on the Sabbath?
There is a vast number of individual things which cannot or can be done, but the main restrictions fall into 39 categories, including planting, baking, trapping animals, and writing. Other Rabbinic restrictions include the moving of objects which cannot be used on the Sabbath. Ask an Orthodox Rabbi for more information and specific questions. Sabbath restrictions only apply to Jews. ====================================================== With Pnina's and the category supervisor's permission, there's an important note on this subject that really needs to be spotlighted here, before this answer is developed in more detail: We need to look a little closer at the whole notion that the primary distinguishing characteristic of the Jewish Sabbath is 'restriction', and that practicing Jews are required to adopt hardship and deprivation regularly, in submission to some kind of Judaic weekly martyrdom. When you really get into it ... in a depth that you only experience from living it, which is too complex to describe adequately for a non-Jewish audience in this or any similar popular forum ... the concept begins to emerge that the Sabbath is a very active day, filled with a broad range of recommended pursuits that focus on the spiritual, familial, intellectual, introspective and contemplative; that these leave little time or opportunity for the simultaneous pursuit of weekday activities, and that weekday activities in any case are inconsistent with the most fulfilling Sabbath environment and can't successfully coexist with it. In the end, for those who choose the emotional, psychological, and spiritual benefits available in the realization of a full Sabbath experience, it's clear that certain pursuits enhance the experience, while others interfere and dilute it. The Sabbath is different in every way, whether or not the Jew chooses to experience it in his own life. If he does so choose, then it makes sense that his own life has to be somewhat different on that day in order to experience it. That's all I wanted to say. ======================================================
Do Christians have to keep the Sabbath?
One View:Jehovah's Witnesses as Christians do NOT observe a weekly sabbath; just as we don't observe the festivals given to the Israelites; and we don't observe the animal sacrifices; and we don't require circumcision for religous reasons.Jehovah God did not give the sabbath requirements to Adam & Eve. It was also not given to Noah, after the new start after the Flood.The sabbath observance and the other requirements were first given to God's ancient people, the Israelites. It was also not given to the Gentile nations. Jehovah did not deal with the Gentiles.It's true that Jesus and his family would have observed the weekly Sabbath; because Jesus was 'born into' the Jewish nation, which was bound by the Law.But with Jesus death, was started a new form of worship, namely Christianity. The Gentiles were brought into the new congregation of God. By then, it was not obligatory for males to be circumcised; neither did they observe the 'new moon'; neither did they sacrifice animals anymore. All those things received a symbolic meaning in the Christian system. Likewise the 'sabbath' observance received a symbolic meaning, which many don't know about; they still observe the sabbath in a literal way; although some aspects of the Sabbath laws they ignore during their actual sabbath day activities.Another Answer:If by 'Christian' you mean a 'disciple' of Christ, then yes, the Sabbath Law of God has never been changed and Jesus, the Apostles, and all newly converted disciples throughout the Roman Empire, observed it then just as true Christians should and are observing it today and everyday since Pentecost in 31 AD.There are about 50 mentions of the Sabbath in the Four Gospels - more than in the first Five Books of the Bible - so there is sufficient examples to help determine if this 4th Command of God should continue for His Church.By the time Jesus began His ministry, the Sabbath had drastically changed from its original intent. Jesus, as Lord of the Sabbath, showed the religious leaders how onerous they have made this 'letter of the Law' forgetting its 'spiritual' intent. Zondervan's Pictorial Bible Dictionary describes how extreme these measures had become by Christ's day. Religious code regarding the Sabbath listed "39 principal classes of prohibited actions: sowing, plowing, reaping, gathering into sheaves, threshing, winnowing, cleansing, grinding, sifting, kneading, baking, etc. Each of these chief enactments was further discussed and elaborated, so that actually there were several hundred things a conscientious, law-abiding Jew could not do on the Sabbath. The minutia of the letter of the Law without the spiritual component.It would be unthinkable for Jesus Christ to disobey any of God's Command's having been found acceptable to the Father as mankind's 'wave sheaf' offering - our Passover Lamb with blemish or spot. He always did whatever He saw the Father do therefore He was perfect as the Father is (John 5:19). Recall the words of Jesus here:Matthew 5:17New American Standard Bible (NASB) 17 "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.The Greek word for fulfill is 'pleroo' meaning to 'render full' or to complete the Law making it full and perfect for all. It surely does not mean Jesus did all the 'lifting' for mankind and we can disregard the Law of God. Rather, a Christian should behave and practice exactly as our perfect example Christ did and still does:1 John 2:6New King James Version (NKJV) 6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
