I Included "Shabbat" As Part Of One Of My End Of Semester Projects!!!


Shabbat (Hebrew: שַׁבָּת, Modern Shabbat Tiberian Šabbāṯ, Ashkenazi pronunciation: Shabbos, Yiddish: שבת [ˈʃabəs], in English: the Sabbath, "rest" or "cessation") is the seventh day of the Jewish week and a day of rest in Judaism. Shabbat is observed from a few minutes before sunset on Friday evening until a few minutes after the appearance of three stars in the sky[1] on Saturday night. The exact times, therefore, differ from week to week and from place to place, depending on the time of sunset at each location. In polar areas where there is no sunrise or sunset at certain times of the year, a different set of rules applies.

On Shabbat Jews recall the Biblical Creation account in Genesis, describing God creating the Heavens and the Earth in six days and resting on the seventh. It also recalls the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, when God commanded the Israelite nation to observe the seventh day and keep it holy.

Shabbat is considered a festive day, when a Jew is freed from the regular labors of everyday life, can contemplate the spiritual aspects of life, and can spend time with family. Traditionally, three festive meals are eaten: on Friday night, Saturday morning, and late Saturday afternoon. The day is also noted for those activities prohibited on Shabbat according to halakha (Jewish law).It is expected that Jews do not by any extent do work on this holy day. This includes for modern times sake driving, turning on or off a light switch, or watching or using any electronic devices. Although it is modern times, still the orthodox and those who observe Shabbat obey these rules.

Go Out And Bless Someone's Day Today, Like They Did To Me!!!!!!!!!!!


Honestly, I don't know what it is with me and GAS STATIONS.... I hardly go to them, I don't like them to begin with, I just go there to get my drink, and keep going. I don't hang out at them, but I always seem to pick up potential dates whenever I do happen to go to one....I don't plan that either, so I don't know what the deal is...I go to one this morning to get my drink, before I go to my 5 hour art class today cause I won't go even across the street without a drink. (I'm talking about non-alcoholic of course!!!) I go and get mine, and am waiting to pay etc..etc...some guy is right beside me and keeps glancing over at me and whatever and I don't think anything of it then walks out before me...I take care of my business and go out, and am about to get in the car, and the same guy comes up to me and says he would like to pay for my drink, that God was telling him he should pay for my drink and he didn't do it and wanted to make it right and handed me $1.00. I like about just fell over cause that like never happens to me like ever....I just said thank you, and also thanked him in Hebrew, and then was like frozen solid cause that really never happens to me ever...What a nice gesture though...I have to get a wholeee lot more braver than I am now to ever be able to do that to someone I don't even know. I really really don't plan for these things to happen, and it's even halfway embarrassing cause I don't know how to respond!!!!!!! Well whatever, if total strangers want to buy my drinks and whatever else I've got my eye on, then they definately won't hear me complaining!!!
