It's like saying, have a peaceful, happy, fun, restful, meaningful, spiritual Shabbat.... and I just wanted to say to those who apply, Shabbat Shalom.  It will be Shabbat in a few hours.

Love is the battery of life....

Hi,


Nice answer joooosh.  Every day one greets: "Shalom".... (and it means much more than "peace") on Saturday we say "Shabat Shalom" to emphasize and remind that it is Shabat.  In Yeddish the greeting is "Goot Shabes" (word to word translation: "Good Shabat".....).   
Best regards,

When life presents a challenge, take your shot.

Do you mean why do they wish each other Shabbat Shalom?  If so, it is a way of saying, have a peaceful, restful, meaningful Shabbat.  Shabbat is supposed to be a reflective time of the week, different from the other days of the week.  Some people don't drive or use electricity on Shabbat (Friday at sundown to Saturday at sundown)... and other people do other things to make the Shabbat experience special for them.

Just because we may disagree doesn't mean your right.

The message of Christ is the kingdom of God.

What one says, does, or thinks is all relevent.

Elexa, The Sabbath is much more that a time of reflection, this is a gift from our Lord, God. It is also a commandment of God. It is the time to be one with God, asking for forgiveness asking for blessings. Originally these were the days for sacrafic's to our Lord, God. Until that day that Christ, His Son, became the sacrafic for all. A polition made the first move to Sunday sabbath, Constitine in the 4the century. The Catholics make it official in the 11th century. Neither God nor His Son, changed that day.
