What is the meaning of remember the sabbath day to keep it holy?

Answer 1

It means to refrain from work on the Sabbath, as stated in Genesis 20 verses 8 to 11. The Israelites believe that God created the world and everything in it in seven days. On the seventh day God rested and commanded His people to do the same and devote themselves entirely unto Him. This is the subject matter of the fourth of the Ten Commandments.

Answer 2

This is the 4th of the Ten Commandments.

For Jews, it means that the Sabbath is to be a day in which we do no manner of forbidden labor (Exodus ch.20 and ch.31). Instead, we are at leisure to pray at length, read the Torah, and have festive Sabbath meals with the family.

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). (See: More about Shabbat-observance.)

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 "Lord's Day" refers to the day of rest, once a week - this may be Saturday, or Sunday, or even Friday, depending on the religion - but in Christianity it's usually either Saturday or Sunday. To "keep it holy" means not to do any work on that day.

Answer 4

To keep the ordinances and commandments of God in keeping pure and spotless on sabbath day.

Answer 5
