The Sabbath is the Jewish day of rest. The day means rest and it is about relaxing and being with family. This day takes place on saturday, where the week starts anew. The rules are much stricter for the sabbath than any other jewish holiday. Jews are not supposed to work, cook, clean, and many other things. One quick interesting fact is that jews are not supposed to drive and that is why most jewish homes are within walking distance of the synagogue. However, this old practice is not in effect anymore, and jewish people can leave where they please.
