Welcome to Ambassadors For Christ Ministries, a dedicated platform to explore faith and beliefs within the realm of community and society.

One of the significant and cherished observances we uphold is Saturday Shabbat.
The Significance of Saturday Shabbat
Shabbat, the Hebrew word for Sabbath, is a weekly day of rest and spiritual celebration observed by Jewish communities around the world. It begins at sundown on Friday and ends at nightfall on Saturday. Saturday Shabbat holds profound importance as it is a time for reflection, prayer, and spending quality time with family and loved ones.
History and Origin
Saturday Shabbat dates back thousands of years, tracing its roots to the biblical account of the Creation story in the Book of Genesis. It is said that on the seventh day, God rested, and the observance of Shabbat mirrors this rest and rejuvenation.
Observance and Practices
During Saturday Shabbat, Jewish individuals and families engage in various rituals and traditions, grounding themselves in their faith and community. These practices often include:
- Kiddush: The Friday evening meal begins with a blessing over wine, known as Kiddush, symbolizing sanctification of the day.
- Shabbat Candles: Before sunset, two candles are lit, signifying the start of Shabbat.
- Shabbat Prayer Services: Devoting time to communal and personal prayer is an integral part of Shabbat. It may involve attending synagogue services.
- Family Time: Shabbat brings families together to create meaningful memories, enjoy a festive meal, and engage in quality conversations.
- Havdalah: Havdalah, the ceremony marking the end of Shabbat, takes place on Saturday night. This includes lighting a braided candle and blessings over spice-filled containers and wine.
