	Shabbat Information (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		With the exception of Yom Kippur, Jewish holidaysdays of public fasting are postponed or advanced for a day if they coincide with Shabbat, and mourners sitting Shivah conduct themselves normally for the duration of the day and are indeed forbidden to express public signs of mourning.

		Subsequently, with the advent of Islam Friday became a day of public prayer for Muslims (the concept of "rest" is traditionally not incorporated, but is catching on nowadays), that may be derived from the practice of having market days on Friday in the Middle East in preparation for a "Sabbath".

	Amazon.com: Books: Traditions: Complete Book of Prayers, Rituals, and Blessings for Every Jewish Home (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		This book is a collection of ancient, traditional and modern Jewish blessings positioned on the rise between two strong currents of interests: an enthusiasm among both Jews and non-Jews for exposure to the wealth of Judaism; and the universal quest for invigorating daily life with a beautiful, simple spirituality.
		I gather from the other half-dozen books that I bought in order to learn about the prayer that this book's thumbnail description, while technically accurate, omits material information about the prayer's significance, in whose absence the technically accurate information is somewhat misleading; and repeats a popular misconception about the prayer's origin that is widely discredited.
		If you are unfamiliar with Jewish culture, this book is a good introduction and overview to the outward signs of that culture, but it does not go too deeply into the inward meaning of the traditions that it describes.
