On Shabbat, Jewish law prohibits 39 categories of work, known as "melachot." These include activities such as planting, plowing, harvesting, cooking, writing, and building. Other prohibitions encompass tasks like lighting a fire, carrying items in public spaces, and using electronic devices. The essence of these restrictions is to create a day of rest and spiritual reflection, allowing individuals to focus on family and faith.
