This answer will be different depending on what sect of Judaism you are in, or, if you are even a Jew. Shabbat means to cease or rest, and so the idea is you work for 6 days as God did, and then rest on the 7th. During that time one might read scripture, pray, spend time with family and friends, or take a nap. It is a day treated differently than all other days. A day where God is recognized for his works and a day where we refuel our own tanks on preparation for the next work week.
