Shabbat is a liminal time; a doorway to peace, rest, and connection. How Shabbat is acknowledged differs by community, levels of observance, and tradition. This guide reflects on only a few ways to observe Shabbat and includes only the portions of Shabbat typically celebrated in the home.

This guide uses masculine terminology to refer to HaShem (like lord, etc)
