ABSTRACT
It is Friday evening in a traditional Jewish household. After a busy day for all, the woman of the house lights the Sabbath candles, a meal is taken together and work ceases. The Sabbath (Shabbat) runs from Friday sunset until sunset the next day. What this exactly means varies from household to household. For orthodox Jews this may mean no electricity, no cooking and a limit on where and how you may travel. The Saturday will be spent resting with the family; there is likely to be a visit to the synagogue.
