What day is the sabbath on for Jews?

Answer 1

Answer #1:

The seventh-day of the week, Saturday. Exodus 20:8-11 says, Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Additional Information:

God instituted the sabbath day at creation by creating another day at the end of the week for us to rest and spend in special communion with Him. This day is the seventh day (our Saturday). This is the only day that God has ever blessed and set aside for holy use.

Another thing to remember is that the seventh day sabbath was instituted BEFORE any sin came into this world. Therefore it was God's intention for the sabbath day to be eternal. And this is confirmed in Isaiah 66 where it says that we shall worship God every sabbath day for all eternity.

The Biblical sabbath is the seventh day of the week (our Saturday).

Answer #2:

Everyone agrees that the Sabbath Day is the seventh day of the week.

The debate arises in the attempt to determine whether that day is our

Saturday or our Sunday.

The thing about it that always intrigues me is how the same culture and

society

that settled on Sunday as the seventh day prints its business and social calendars

with Sunday in the first column, and Saturday in the seventh one.
In Judaism, it is Saturday, the seventh day. [the day when God rested] On this holy day, the Israelites weren't supposed to do any work, but to rest and pray to God. The Sabbath day is the seventh day of the divinely inspired repetitive seven-day week that God commanded be set aside for holy use (sanctified) for man to rest from his labors to REMEMBER CREATION. Remember his Creator and remember his dependence upon his Creator. Otherwise... if man didn't remember creation - then, he would forget about it.

For Christians it is Sunday, the first day of the week, in honour of the Resurrection.

Answer 2

The Jews consider Saturday as the Sabbath.

The Jewish Sabbath is from Friday sundown until Saturday after twilight. The origin of the Shabbat is in the Torah (Genesis ch.2, Leviticus ch.23, Exodus ch.20 and many other passages). Since the Sabbath is a day blessed by God (Genesis ch.2), 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.
There are two main aspects to Shabbat observance: what we do and what we don't do.
What we don't do: we're not permitted to work on the Shabbat (Exodus ch.20). This includes 39 categories of productive interaction with the world, such as planting, writing, kindling fire, etc. (Talmud, Shabbat 73b).

What we do: candles are lit, customarily by the lady of the household, around 20 minutes before sunset on Friday afternoon. We then attend synagogue for the Friday afternoon prayer (mincha), the kabbalat Shabbat (ushering in of the Shabbat), and the Shabbat evening prayer (maariv), consecutively.
On Shabbat morning, we again attend synagogue. The services are longer than on weekdays and include prayers as well as reading the weekly Torah-portion.
There's often a kiddush (refreshments) afterwards, and congregants then have a chance to schmooze (to talk). Towards the late afternoon, there's another (short) service (Shabbat mincha).

• 
  

After Friday night services and on Shabbat morning after services, we come home, often with guests, make kiddush (blessing over wine), and have a leisurely multi-course Shabbat meal including singing and words of Torah. Customarily, that week's Torah-reading (parsha) will be a topic of conversation; and the children of the family will be asked to speak of what they've learned in school.

• 
  

After that, Shabbat is a quiet time: no phones, radio or TV (etc.), just schmoozing, taking walks, visiting friends, reading, learning Torah, playing Board Games, etc.
Husband and wife, in particular, finally have a chance to be together after a hectic week.

Answer 3

The Bible is very clear on what day the sabbath is.

Genesis 2:2-3 ...'And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.'

Exodus 16:26 ...'Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.'

Exodus 20:8-11 ...'Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.'

Do you see that God in the 4th commandment is making a reference to creation week? The seventh day sabbath of the 4th commandment is the same day as the seventh day of creation. This is the Bible sabbath.

So the sabbath day today is our Saturday.

Answer 4

The Jewish Sabbath, known as Shabbat or Shabbes/Shabbos, begins at nightfall on a Friday and ends at nightfall on Saturday - so, whilst the larger part of Shabbat is on Saturday, the answer should not be given simply as Saturday.

Answer 5

That will depend on the religion. For Jews it is Saturday, as the Sabbath is the 7th day of the week. For Christians, Jesus rose on Sunday, the first day of the week, and Christians adopted Sunday as their Sabbath.

The 7th day is the Sabbath!

Another View:

Some evangelical Christians believe Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath and that this day - 7th day beginning at sunset Friday to sunset Saturday - has never changed.

These also note that Jesus died just before sunset Wednesday, on Passover and remained in the tomb for 3 full days and nights, rising just before sunset Saturday - exactly 72 hours.

He is noted in the Gospel accounts to have been seen in the early, still dark hours of Sunday morning when He returned to the Father as our 'Wave Sheaf' offering of acceptance for the sins of mankind as the Days of Unleavened Bread pictures.

Answer 6

Jewish people celebrate the Sabbath on Saturday. It begins Friday night at sundown, and goes till Saturday night at sundown. By the way, the Hebrew word for the Sabbath is Shabbat (shah-BAHT); the Yiddish name is Shabbos (SHAH-buss).

Answer 9

The Jewish Sabbath, or Shabbat, starts few minutes before sunset on Friday until the appearance of three stars in the sky on Saturday night.

Answer 10

All Jewish holidays start at sunset, so Shabbat starts on every Friday night and ends at Saturday night.
