SHABBAT GER

Matthew 11:28-29 underlined by Virginia Fabro~Rivera

"Shabbat is a special time of rest, renewing a sense of awe for the acts of the Lord. It is a time for family. As such, Shabbat contains moments of remembrance and blessing within the family. It is a perfect time to honor and commemorate deceased family members."

Got Questions Ministries: Sabbath-keeping was not one of the commands the apostles felt was necessary to force on Gentile believers. The decision was, "It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood" (Acts 15:19-20).

"one must study a minimum of approximately six hours on Shabbat" (Peninei Halakha: Shabbat 5: 1).

Wikipedia: According to halakha, there are certain activities prohibited on Shabbat. Some Jewish communities sound a converted civil defense siren on Friday afternoon to announce that Shabbat will begin in order to warn and remind the local Jewish residents to stop doing such activities. Rabbi Yaakov Chaim Sofer writes that this custom should be continued in a place where the Jewish populace is in control and unafraid of gentile repercussions. If an actual shofar cannot be used, a siren or bell can be used in its place.

"During wartime: In a time of great need, such as in times of natural disasters or war in which case one must hear news directives, one may certainly be lenient to do so, leaving the radio on a low volume. [Accordingly, all those currently living in Israel may leave a radio on a low-volume throughout Shabbos for the sake of being updated with any news that may be relevant for their safety. A number of Shabbos observant radio stations will have a silent broadcast playing throughout Shabbos in which important news events will only feature when necessary. The stations include: Moreshet, Kol Chaiy 102.5 FM, 93 FM , 92.8 FM, and Kol Berama 107.6 FM, 105.7 FM, 104.3 FM, 92.1 FM.]"

ELIZABETH WOOD: I drive on Shabbat, I spend money on Shabbat, and I use electricity on Shabbat. I don't like to "unplug" on Shabbat.
