Shabbat By Hodaya M. Morashah

Slide 3

Why do we do Shabbat? At the beginning of the world there was nothing. Hashem wanted there to be something in the world. As to that fact, Hashem made the world in 6 days. On the 7 th day Hashem decided to rest after all that hard work. This is why we do Shabbat, we just shut down from all the worries and hard work during the week. As well as this, we are also taught Shabbat from the Ten commandments that Moshe gave us on Har Sinai. It is so important to keep that tradition from long ago because the Ten Commandments are very important. I think that you have to work a little during the week, to make Shabbat as special as possible.

What we do on Shabbat Friday night Friday night is I think a really great way to welcome Shabbat. We first start with Mincha, then we go to Cabbalat Shabbat, the welcoming of Shabbat which also includes Lecha Dodi. Following Cabbalat Shabbat is Maariv.
