Observe <strong>the</strong> Sabbath<br />
Veshamru et ha’Shabbat<br />
ושמרו את השבת<br />
<strong>The</strong> prayer Veshamru commands <strong>the</strong> Jewish people to observe Shabbat and is<br />
quoted directly from Exodus 31: 16-17. <strong>The</strong> text reminds us both that God<br />
created <strong>the</strong> universe in six days and rested <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> seventh day and that God gave<br />
Israel <strong>the</strong> Sabbath as gift and sign of <strong>the</strong> covenant between God and <strong>the</strong> Jewish<br />
people.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Children of Israel shall keep <strong>the</strong> Sabbath,<br />
Observing <strong>the</strong> Sabbath throughout <strong>the</strong><br />
generati<strong>on</strong>s as an eternal b<strong>on</strong>d.<br />
It is a sign between God and <strong>the</strong> Children of<br />
Israel for all time,<br />
That in six days Ad<strong>on</strong>ai made <strong>the</strong> heavens and<br />
<strong>the</strong> earth,<br />
And <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> seventh day, God ceased from<br />
creating and was re-souled.<br />
Veshamru venei Yisra’el et hashabbat.<br />
