Shabbat

Shabbat, (Shah-bot) in a Messianic Jewish context, is a sacred day of rest from Friday evening to Saturday evening. It celebrates God's creation and the covenant with His people, marked by prayer, Scripture study, and fellowship. This day also reminds believers of the coming Messiah and the ultimate rest He brings.
