Shabbos is about more than praying, although synagogue is a part it. There is no “work” done on the Sabbath – and that includes things like turning lights on and off, as well as pushing a stroller – and one does not ride in any motorized transportation. There are exceptions for things like health – clearly one could go to the hospital in an ambulance.

My Orthodox friends tell me that Shabbos is meant to be a time for reflection, for family and for being in the moment, free from the distractions of every day life.

Which doesn’t sound so bad, does it?
