The Ten Commandments are very important rules for most Jewish people.
The Ten Commandments still hold great significance for Jews today for many reasons. Most Jewish people believe:
- They are a guide for Jewish living today.
- Following the Ten Commandments is part of the covenant made at Mount Sinai, which applies to all Jews.
- God will judge Jews on how well they have observed these commandments.
- Following the commandments helps Jews to become better people today.
- The commandments help Jews to treat other people with respect.
- The commandments guide Jews to love and worship God effectively.
Here's how one of the rules is followed by many Jewish people.
Keep the Sabbath special.
The sabbath (‘shabbat’) is of particular importance in a Jewish home. Jewish law requires Jews to refrain from various acts of “work” on the sabbath, in commemoration of God’s resting on the seventh day of creation. The prohibited acts of “work” include travelling (other than on foot), cooking, writing, carrying, the switching on and off of electricity, using a telephone and any transaction of a commercial nature such as shopping. The sabbath starts on Friday about one hour before nightfall or 15 minutes before dusk. So a practising Jew needs to leave work or school or anywhere else, in enough time to arrive home by the beginning of the sabbath The sabbath lasts for approximately 25 hours from whatever time it starts.
