What day is special preparation is made to keep the sabbath holy?

There is no special preparation day for keeping the Sabbath Day holy. Keeping the Sabbath Day holy basically means attending church on Sunday and keeping that day focused on God.

Answer:

Satan has truly confounded and confused the laws of God and times (Dan.7:25) in the hearts and minds of men since Adam and Eve chose him over their Creator, to worship and obey in the beginning.

God's reckoning of a 24-hour day is different from the way man observes it today. With God, the new day begins with the going down of the sun. No "wristwatch" is needed.

With man... the new day begins in the satanic "witching hour" of "midnight."

With God, the 24-hour day always begins with the "night time" portion in "PREPARATION" for the daylight portion.

"...And the EVENING and the MORNING were the first day." (Gen.1:5)

"...And the EVENING and the MORNING were the second day." (verse 8)

See also verses: (13, 19, 23 and 31).

The "seventh" day of the week, which God established to remind man of creation and that He is the Creator, is the only day of the week which HE GAVE A NAME.

"In the end of the SABBATH, as it began to dawn toward the FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK..." (Matt.28:1).

Few people, in spite of the global calendar confusion in the world, today, have any difficulty understanding in the above verse in Matthew 28, that it is talking about the days of the week we call "Saturday" (the Sabbath) and "Sunday" (the first day of the week).

And the Holy Spirit of God inspired it in the "New Testament"... it's not a verse from the Old. The Holy Spirit either knows (even in these "New Testament times") when the Lord's Sabbath is (on the seventh day)... or it forgot that it was changed to Sunday... and made a mistake in this verse.

The "preparation" for the Sabbath, in any event, is difficult for modern man to fathom when his days begin sometime in the middle of the night. From the Lord's perspective, however... the "preparation" of any of our Creator's sabbath days (weekly or annual) is the "night time portion" of that sabbath day, beginning at sundown.

Can sabbath day be just any day of the week?

Christians who exercise faith in Christ's ransom do not try to gain salvation by engaging in activity that may gain them God's favour. Instead they rest from their own works of justification as it says at Hebrews 4:9-11 "As it is, however, there still remains for God's people a rest like God's resting on the seventh day. For those who receive that rest which God promised will rest from their own work, just as God rested from his. Let us, then, do our best to receive that rest, so that no one of us will fail as they did because of their lack of faith" (Good News Bible)

So for Christians every day of the week is set aside to exercise faith.

After the fall of both the Northern and Southern Kingdoms of Israel/Judah, primarily due to their disregard for the Sabbath Law (see Jeremiah 17:21-22; Ezekiel 20:12, etals), the Jews were determined not to commit this same error again. They began to make 39 new definitions of what not to do on this day - with its minutia, it became over 200 restrictions and totally burdensome for anyone. Jesus came to clearly show how both the physical and spiritual intent of the Sabbath Law was to be followed. He did not come to destroy the Law but to fill it to its full intent (Matthew 5:17-18). All disciples of Christ follow the Sabbath.

Why are shabbat and kashrut important to the Jewish community?

In addition to being Mitzvot, they bind the Jewish people together in time and space, and make us holy.

When you have the sabbath meal what does the father say before it?

The head of the household says the kiddush blessing the sabbath (and similar prayers are said on Jewish holidays as well). These prayers essentially explain the background for the holiness of the day, and also include a blessing for the food which is about to be consumed.

At every meal a (generally silent) prayer is said thanking G-d for supplying the food. Separate prayers are said before eating bread, other foodstuffs, fruit and wine. On Sabbath and holidays, the head of the household says the prayer over wine or bread symbolically to indicate the entire meal, and the appropriate prayers are repeated silently by all the other participants.

Note that in Non-Orthodox households, there is no gender requirement for who says what blessing. Furthermore, in Orthodox households with only one gender (a widow with daughters, for example) there is also no gender requirements for who says what blessing.
