The most important day of the normal week for Jews would be Shabbat, which is from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday. It is called Shabbat because there is a complete cessation of work. There are a number of things which cannot be done on this day, but the most commonly noticed rules are:

1) No Fire or Electricity can be turned on or turned off or used to cook anything

2) No Carrying of any Items between Buildings (this is somewhat circumvented by the concept of an Eruv, but the general idea still holds)

3) No Writing, Drawing, or other similar task

4) No Exchanging of Money or Trading

During this period, Jews go to Synagogue for longer stints of time. Orthodox Jews typically spend between 4.5 to 6 hours every Shabbat in their local synagogues. They must walk to these synagogues since use of a car would be a violation of Rule 1 listed above. They also spend time with their families and eat together and laugh together. People enjoy themselves on Shabbat.
