39 categories of activity prohibited on Shabbat
The 39 categories of activity prohibited on Shabbat (or 39 melachot, or lamed tet avot melachot), are activities that Jews are prohibited to do on Shabbat. The Talmud, using verses from the Torah, lists the 39 distinct categories and clarifies many questions surrounding application of the prohibitions.
