God created the world in six days and it was perfect... almost. The world lacked one thing to stay alive - a soul. On Shabbat, God ceased from creating and breathed soul into the world - giving life and endurance to all that had been created. By imitating God and resting on Shabbat we acknowledge God as creator and in doing so we breathe soul into our lives.

The word Shabbat means ‘to return’ or ‘to rest’. On Shabbat we return to ourselves and our potential. By observing Shabbat, starting with lighting the candles we bring primal life energy into our lives and all creation.
