Introduction to the Tractate Shabbat

The Tractate of Shabbat is the first and the largest Tractate of the Order of Mo’ed. It deals with the halakhot of the Holiest Day of all, Shabbat.

There are numerous halakhot, or veritable mountains of halakhot, among the Shabbat mitzvot, including both positive mitzvot and prohibitions. These include mitzvot of biblical origin, those established by the Prophets, and many rabbinic decrees and ordinances. Shabbat is shrouded with the aura of legend; it is a day of rest and sanctity, GOD’s gift to His chosen People.

There are also numerous facets for Shabbat in halakha and aggada. However, one aspect is fundamental and central: Abstention from creative labor. The only way to properly understand Shabbat and its halakhot, ranging from Torah statutes to rabbinic ordinances and decrees issued throughout the generations, is to grasp this fundamental principle.
