SHABBAT (Sabbath) FOR BEGINNERS: Sanctifying Sabbath the 7th Day of Rest commanded in Jewish Torah

[@clarkewi]

When I was a young boy of 8 I stayed at a Jewish friend's house on Friday night. His family was observing Shabbot and allowed me to participate. I was a Christian and went to church on Sunday. But I always questioned my instruction on the Ten Commandments noting the Sabbath commandment. My teachers told me about the "Jewish Sabbath" but I could never reconcile Christian adherence to the Ten Commandments while failing to keep it's Sabbath Commandment? A few years later my mother married a Jewish man and converted to orthodox Judaism. I became part of a large family with lots of uncles and cousins headed by my orthodox grandmother who spoke Yiddish. Although I never formally converted to Judaism, I keep Shabbos faithfully to this day.

BARUCH HaSHEM! SHABBAT SHALOM!

[@x0xpamx0x]

I’ve asked several elders why we go to church on Sunday! It’s ALWAYS bothered my precious SPIRIT! I’m trying to study Shabbat now. Thank you for this video🙏🏼

[@x0xpamx0x]

CLARITY about OUR PRIORITIES!! Awesome!

[@lindamccollum220]

Enjoyed so much. Been celebrating the Sabbath for years, but wanting to embrace my Hebrew roots so going deeper. Lovely!

[@rafaelperdomo2182]

thank you for bringing clarity and purpose to me about sabbath.

[@esthiehere]

Feels like its the first real and understandable explanation of the topic in the entire youtube. Thank you!

[@altinokz]

G-d bless you Rabbi for this wonderful video. I am in my process of conversion and with tears in my eyes from joy of learning I realize the key is “ Shabbat gives the entire world a rest” this was the missing key to my understanding. BH for Rabbis like yourself who are holding the guiding light for us the nations. This week I lit up my first Shabbat 🕯🕯 BH

[@MarvinFalz]

There is something really beautiful about Judaism.

[@kittyrobinson1793]

Todah Rabah!

[@MyJewishMommyLife]

Your thoughts on the 'areas of tension' are really interesting and it's true how Shabbat gives us a break from them.

[@1DaTJo]

Thank you for the insights, clarity, explanation. Very helpful as I make my return, once again. Ideas I am now ready for, which I wasn't ready for a few years ago, were illuminated.

[@WhitneyNL]

[@kevinallen3758]

Still a lot to learn

[@queenlouise9688]

I've learned alot.Very uplifting.

[@j.lsantos9106]

Good presentation crystal clear rabbi

[@mitzvahgolem8366]

Turn off smart phones and computer Friday afternoon. Don't come to shul and talk politics... Save your best foods for Shabbos. Speak Torah only on shabbos. This is hard to do for most who attend frum shabbos. Walk to shul or stay over night. If you live in observant community it is easy...שלום

[@kipthecourtjester]

Beautiful man. Great video. Thank you.

[@dawnd.4270]

This was a really excellent explanation . I’m a believer of Christ and I will look down at my finger nails from now on and view it differently.

[@debbycrowell303]

[@arioctober]

Love his sense of humor 😂❤

[@napolionbonaparte6804]

The Shabbat is the Shabbat, and JESUS never change or cancelled the day BLESS, this day is the day consecrated for the HEAVENLY FATHER. So people going to Church Sunday's that is the wrong day.

[@IRVIBENYEHUDA]

THE SHABBAT MARRIES THE JEW TO OUR HaSHEM!

[@timkimbrough7]

[@LQuinnS]

Can we say the Shabbat blessings in English?

[@JewsforJudaismCanada]

Yes. You can say the blessings in whatever language you are comfortable with. Many Siddurim (Jewish Prayer Books) are available in translations in various popular languages such as English, Russian, French, German etc.

[@Hollycamacho5635]

Very interesting !

[@shawn3968]

1. Don’t you have to warm up or reheat the food that you cooked the day before in order to eat it on Shabbat?

[@empressroxy]

Profound

[@sunavila]

I agree with the majority of the video, except for the point of self-indulging during Shabbat. I believe that the Shabbat is a Holy time in which we should be at our best in terms of holiness. If a person does not practice discipline on the most important day of the week, why should they on the other days of the week? And if we allow ourselves to indulge on Shabbat, but then practice discipline on the other days, are we not disrespecting the Shabbat by placing the other days above it?

[@Cherub72]

the phrase shomar shabbat comes form new york butchers who put up the sign on shabbos. I don't know if people said it before then lol. and don't forget mitvah has a plural, mitzvot. Good talk! I enjoyed your view on shabbat

[@TXLionHeart]

I have always found it funny how Orthodox Jews extrapolated 39 forbidden things to do on Shabbat -- not incld. the additional restrictions mandated by rabbis designed to guard against the violation of the aforementioned 39 prohibitions -- simply due the verse's adjacency to the work done in the holy Tabernacle. Yet, ironically, strenuous back-breaking labor (ex. schlepping a heavy couch up 6 flights of stairs inside of a building) is not considered work in the eyes of the penmen of the oral Torah.

[@joelleenbeangh2158]

I am in Poland , I don't drink smoke and alone in secretcy do shabbat for dead souls under the rabble.

[@paulinetaylor2810]

I am a roman catholic but iv allways admiered the jewish religion, I know were sister religion and have a lot in coming and our servises and simular, allo id be respectfull, would they mind if I went into a synagogue and listened and observed them I mean how judiasim is, I mean im not doing it for anything badness I am not looking to convert well at least not yet, I have just allways been intrested in them. and I have never been to a synagogue before.

[@JewsforJudaismCanada]

Different synagogues have different policies regarding people coming to visit or observe their prayer services. The best thing to do is to contact in advance the synagogue you'd like to attend and speak with the rabbi. Let the rabbi know who you are and what your interests are. They will let you know if what you hope to do is possible.

[@goldenbadger4570]

I'm really confused why do we start Shabbat on Friday after sundown if Shabbat is on the 7th day and why do we end Shabbat on Saturday evening 1 hour before sundown...... is this biblical or just tradition..... would it be more appropriate for us to start Shabbat at 1200am Saturday and end 1200am Sunday

[@IRVIBENYEHUDA]

TO THE OBSERVANT JEW THE NEW DAY STARTS AT SUNDOWN AND THE SHABBAT ENDS WHEN 3 STARS SHINE FORTH ON SATURDAY EVENING. SHALOM

[@arioctober]

"there was evening and there was morning. A day" or something like that. It's biblical
