How do we know Shabbat is on Shabbat?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Uziyahu:
Another simple question...

Answer: Because Jews somewhere in the world have been observing Shabbat since it was instituted as law.  If Jews in one place were compelled to work on Shabbat, Jews elsewhere would have corrected them when they became free to observe it, again.

"but how do we know we didn't skip a day at some point?", was the original question, but I guess that is unrealistic

Tzvi Ben Roshel1:
Its also kinda of cool and Thank G-d that everyone in the World has a 7 day per week system. - probably becuase that was the tradition that was passed down from Noah( who learned it from his predecessors and back to Adam who got it from G-d creating the world in 7 days).
 Thank G-d its like this, becuase if not, then their would be disorder for us Jews and really inconvenient.

Definitely. Nonetheless, we would manage to figure it out

Raulmarrio2000:
Just a similar question....one version of the Ten Commandments mentions Exodus from Egypt as a reason for Jews to keep Shabat, and the first day of Peisach is called Shabat also. Would it be possible that in Moses' time Nissan 15th was always on Shabat? If the calendar was made by observing the New Moon at that time, why isn't even ONE occassion in the whole Tanch when Jews had doubts about the calendar? Some days the sky must have been cloudy!!!!! What if at that time the sun and the moon were syncronized, and the months had 28 exact days and the solar years exactly 12 months??? Would it be possible????
