Shabbos Goy Comin’ Thru (wat’cha gonna jew) - odBEATz (aka. Donny Burlin)

SHABBAT GOY The term is a combination of the word “Shabbos“ (שבת) meaning the Sabbath ( Saturday ), and goy, which literally means “a nation“ but colloquially means a “non-Jew“ (in Biblical Hebrew “goy“ means simply “a nation“, but in Mishnaic Hebrew it is used in the sense of “a non-national“, i.e., “a non-Jew“). The Shabbat goy’s duty is to extinguish the lighted candles or lamps on Friday night, and make a fire in the oven or stove on Sabbath mornings during the cold weather.
