What is Shabbat? The bible says it took God 6 days to create the earth, and that on the seventh day he rested. That day of rest is Shabbat, or Shabbos if you speak Yiddish.
Shabbat starts at sundown on Friday night, and ends after sunset on Saturday night. In the Jewish community, shabbat is declared a day of rest, contemplation, thought, and prayer.
The Reform Jewish community sees Shabbat as a time of rest & family.
The Orthodox Jews have many strict rules which specify which activities are permitted on Shabbat, and which are not. Specifically, farming, sewing, cooking, and lighting fires are prohibited. Those rules were created centuries ago, but are now interpreted to include electricity and telephones. These rules also prohibit driving on shabbat.
As a vendor, you should respect your Jewish client's desires regarding Shabbat, and not expect phone calls or emails on Shabbat.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
