Shabbat in Jerusalem is a unique and special time but it raises many practical questions about what to do, where to eat, and how to get around. As perhaps the holiest city on earth, Shabbat in Jerusalem is a serious matter, perhaps more so than in the rest of Israel. This means that there are certain implications when visiting Jerusalem over the weekend.
Shabbat is the Jewish day of rest, the Sabbath. It begins at sundown on Friday and ends at sundown on Saturday when the new week begins. Observant Jews do not work during Shabbat and this extends to using electronic equipment, driving cars, and cooking. The start of the 24-hour period of Shabbat is welcomed by lighting candles and attending synagogue for prayers, followed by the Shabbat Dinner, a festive family affair.
On Shabbat morning, observant Jews return to synagogue for a morning service, and again in the evening for the ‘Havdalah’ service which marks the end of Shabbat and the start of a new week.
In Jerusalem, Shabbat is a totally unique experience. Starting early on Friday afternoon, businesses, shops, and most restaurants begin to close. Some non-Kosher restaurants remain open during Shabbat, as do a limited number of businesses in the West of the city.
Public transportation (buses and railways) do not run at all in Jerusalem during Shabbat, and all these services stop in the hours leading up to sunset. Shared taxis and private taxis continue to operate.
Because the time of sunset varies throughout the year, the time that Shabbat begins and ends changes every week. There are a number of websites etc. where one can check the times each week. In the winter, businesses close around lunchtime, with some restaurants not opening at all for lunch. In the summer, businesses close later. Each place has its own rules regarding this.
Saturday evenings after Shabbat are called ‘Motzei Shabbat’ and many businesses and malls tend to open again, usually around one hour after the end of Shabbat, staying open extra late so people can shop before the start of the new week. Bus services start almost immediately after the end of Shabbat, and the railway slightly later.

    I remember a time back in the 80’s where shops, even gas stations were closed on Sunday, however it was a day off from Shabbat. *Zahi I was starting a prayer for you just before you mentioned to take a silent prayer* 🙏 ( I know it’s personal to say prayers and not to boast whatsoever, however I wanted to let you know that at least I am keeping you in my thoughts for showing the world what truly is meant for us all to do. So in my heart I know the Lord will forgive for making a video because you are sharing an important time and what it’s supposed to be, and that is for us to be home with family giving thanks and rejoicing in prayer, to reflect, etc...) *God Bless you Zahi and your entire family and all the beautiful souls here watching* much love, peace, and joy in your hearts to all who are here. 💖🙏👍🤗

    Jogging and cycling is not allowed ... because what??? God is not happy because people treat bodies and health as Gift and they are happy when do workout ... these restrictions are created by people not God... so God is not happy when somebody takes shower, cooking or even walking farer then 1,2 km... why??? Does God want to get slaves on this day? ... and other way sport is bad, cooking is bad, take shower is bad but be lazy and take money from goverment and do nothing with work by many orthodics jews is ok ... Thank God, i'm Christian. We just enjoying life on the Holy Day and God is happy also with US
