"Remember Yom Shabbat, to keep it holy." - Exodus 20:8 (TLV)
The weekly or seventh day Shabbat or Sabbath is the first of the Appointed Times
established by GOD in Leviticus 23. As the first of these Feasts of the L-RD the Shabbat
became the foundation for all of the Feasts to follow. As the Heavens and Earth were created
and completed in seven days this basis on which the calendar was established. We celebrate
weekly Shabbat to demonstrate our faith in GOD’s creative power and in His redemption
power.
