Shabbat

No, Orthodox Jews do not use phones during Shabbat except for major emergencies such as someone's life being at risk.

It is not forbidden to play on the Sabbath, but riding bicycles and other things with gears is, as is playing with toys or games with functional electronic components. It is forbidden to play with noisemakers as well. Playing board games like Monopoly or playing cards is permitted, and one may read non-electronic books.

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).

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 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 have a chance 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.

The word Sabbath comes from Biblical Hebrew and means a day of cessation from labor or creative work. In Judaism, this day is from Friday sundown until Saturday after twilight.

I guess the Schindler Jews had not had their Sabbath in a while and it was a kind gesture by Schindler. They had been working hard in his factory and the Sabbath is a day of rest and worship, so it was a break as well

During Shabbat, religiously observant Jews do not turn electric devices on or off. As a result, they will leave ovens on at low temps for the whole of Shabbat which allows them to warm food.

Modern appliances such as ovens, are programmed to automatically turn off after a certain number of hours. Sabbath mode on a stove/oven means that the oven won't auto-turn off so that food can be kept warm overnight to be eaten on Saturday. Also, it disables the light in the oven.

No.

Sabbath or שבת (Sha'boss) in Hebrew is celebrated on the 7th day of every week because the Christians and Jews believe that God created the world in 6 days and on the 7th day He rested and therefore so do His people. For Jews the Sabbath is celebrated on Saturday because that is the 7th day of the week in the Jewish calender, for Christians the 7th day is Sunday.

At the beginning of the sabbath dinner Friday Evening, and at lunch after Saturday morning services, the meal begins with kiddush, a ritual blessing for bread and wine. The bread (challah) is covered during the blessing for wine, and then after everyone has had their sip of wine, the challah is uncovered for the blessing for bread. Then, pieces of challah are distributed to everyone present (or everyone tears a piece from the loaf) and everyone takes a bite. In some communities, it is traditional to dip the piece in (or sprinkle salt on) the bread. After this, everyone digs into the meal. From that point onward, the remaining challah is just bread, eaten like any other bread with no special rituals.

Some communities insist that challah should be torn and not sliced. In other communities, there are special ceremonial bread knives used just for challah at the sabbath meal.

Christian visitors frequently find the kiddush blessings to be suspiciously similar to communion, probably because the communion ritual evolved from the kiddush ritual -- Christians argue that communion descends from Passover, but that's just an elaborate kiddush done with unleavened bread.

The Pentateuch refers to the first five books of the Bible—Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy—central to Jewish law and teachings. Psalms is a book of poetic hymns and prayers in the Old Testament, attributed primarily to King David, expressing a wide range of emotions and themes. Yahweh is the personal name of God in the Hebrew Bible, often translated as "LORD" in English versions. Exodus is the second book of the Pentateuch, detailing the Israelites' liberation from slavery in Egypt, while Pharisees were a Jewish sect known for their strict adherence to the Law and traditions. The Sabbath is a day of rest and worship observed on the seventh day, rooted in the creation narrative and the Fourth Commandment.

The Sabbatical Year occurred on a cycle of seven years, in which every seventh year was a year when the land was allowed to lie fallow (Leviticus ch.25) and debts were released (Deuteronomy ch.15).

After seven such cycles an extra year, the 50th year, was declared the year of Yovel (Jubilee). In that year any land which had been sold reverted to its original owners, thus ensuring that there could never be a landless class. Even if your parents were profligate and got into debt and had to sell their land, you would eventually have your land back and be able to make a new start.

Unfortunately, although the social benefits of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years are great, human nature meant that they were not always kept.

No. The Sabbath is a weekly holiday that occurs from Friday at sunset until Saturday at sunset. Rosh Hashanah is a major holiday or festival, and occurs on the 1st day of the 7th month of the Jewish (lunar) calendar. If the 1st day of the 7th month is a Saturday, then Rosh Hashanah is also on the Sabbath.

The Sabbath is considered in the Jewish religion to be a day blessed by God (Genesis ch.2), a day of rest (Exodus ch.20, ch.31), and a day of strengthening ties with the family, the community, and with God. Ties with God are strengthened through obeying Him in keeping the Shabbat, and through the prayers and Torah-readings.
