A few of the means by which the Sabbath is kept holy:
-- Refrain from involvement in matters concerning business, politics, the routines of making a living and getting through daily life;
-- Refrain from handling the most familiar objects associated with business and daily life ... tools, money, computer, hobby equipment etc.
-- Refrain from activities that demonstrate Man's control over nature ... making fire, operating machinery, using electricity/telephone, driving the car etc.
Technically, there are 39 categories of activity that are to be avoided on the Sabbath. This is a subject for in-depth Jewish study. The Sabbath is a good time to engage in such study.
-- Read, study, reflect on the Torah, Tanakh, the commentaries, or any publication concerning topics of spirituality or Jewish Law.
-- Share the Sabbath experience with one's family.
All Sabbath-observers keep the Sabbath holy; and Hassidim are among them.

# Jews do not use electricity on the Sabbath(TVs, cars, etc). # Jews do not cook on the Sabbath. # Jews do not write on the Sabbath.
There is no such commandment. The reason for this notion is a tradition that started with the commandment "Keep Holy the Sabbath Day." It was interpreted to mean that people should not labor gainfully on the Sabbath. Sunday is, however, not the Sabbath. The fact that Sunday is the holy day of the week is a Christian tradition.
When God first made the world, it took six days then rested on the seventh day. As part of the rules of Judaism, HaShem commanded that we honour the 7th day with a day of rest, this is called Shabbat. Shabbat starts sundown Friday and ends sundown Saturday. During Shabbat, Jews prayer and refrain from the 39 forms of work specified in the Torah.
