shabbos
Yiddishthe Yiddish pronunciation of Shabbat, the Sabbath
The Yiddish and Ashkenazi pronunciation of Shabbat, the weekly day of rest. You'll hear "Shabbos" more from Haredi and Orthodox speakers, and "Shabbat" more broadly across denominations, but they're naming the same day.

"dozens of Haredi men shouted 'Shabbos' and threw eggs while hundreds of secular counter-protesters" (Shabbat edition, Aug 14, 2026)
