Shabbat is important to the Jewish people. It is the fourth of the Ten Commandments. We are commanded to rest, because G-d rested after creating the world.
Shabbat has become a time for families to come together and celebrate and to enjoy a festive meal together.
Our artifacts represent Jewish ritual objects that have been used by families on Shabbat. Some of these have interesting stories behind them.
Ahad Ha'am stated: "More than the Jews have kept Shabbat, Shabbat has kept the Jews."
