I get the impression you’re on the opposite side of the earth from me
If so, go to sleep.

I usually go for a beer and watch some football (soccer for you on the wrong side of the Atlantic) my team beat Arsenal 3-1, also today we watched a lantern parade which started outside the pub.
Then we had a Chinese takeaway, currently chilling in front of telly before an early night

I went to sabbath about ten years ago haven't returned since. Don't plan on it except to work make a nickel buy a loaf a bread. Seems to keep the gremlins away pretty nicely!!!!
If I don't then it all starts to feel and look like this.

Lying down on the floor right now. You?
Jewish Sabbath is over imo. I think the Sabbath is for the Jews so you missed it imho.
I do believe the Sabbath is from sunset on a Friday to sunset on the next day.
But, I am wrong about everything else, so chances are I am wrong again.

Actually Sadat attacked Israel on on October 6th 1973, which was a Saturday as well as Yom Kippur. That meant it was easy to call up all the soldiers who were either in synagogue or at home.

I wrote something somewhat relevant to this a few years ago...........
I just want to say that I am truly sorry for all those years that I was close to believing in near total pacifism! Rabbi Jesus/Yehoshua once asked a question of the Scribes and Pharisees that should have made it obvious to me that an extreme situation can call for drastic action by a Christian or Jew who feels called into a life in the military or police!
Mark 3:4
"And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace."
I am almost certain that Rabbi Jesus/Yehoshua was referring to the situation faced by the Machabees when Greco - Syrian armies were attacking Jewish communities on the Sabbath.
One community had refused to fight back....but the Machabees....in my opinion correctly judged that this is a violation of an admonition by King Solomon:
Ecclesiastes 7:16
"Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?"
Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, First Book Of Machabees Chapter 2
