About this Class

One of the Ten Commandments states (Exodus 19:10) "the seventh day is a Sabbath to G-d; you shall perform no labor." This class examines three levels of resting from labor -- in action, in speech, and even in thought. (Based on Likkutei Sichos vol. 11, p. 80)

If we should not even think of doing any work on Shabbat. Why tell someone to do the work for us. Like a gentile? Isn't this wrong to do, for we thought of the work to be done and told someone to do it? I am practicing the command of Shabbat, but I am kind of confuse with this behavior. I have tried to participate with the Jewish people during Shabbat service. Chabad centers are very far for me to visit their center. But I have seen a gentile do the work when I visited. If the animal that plows is not suppose to do that, why a gentile can? What I usually do I prepare the food on Friday, but wash whatever dish I use on Shabbat. I live alone, therefore I do not dirty much dishes. But I understand that it is not a good idea to leave dirty dishes around on Shabbat. I figure that this behavior is alright, to wash the dishes? Besides this action, I do nothing else on Shabbat except washing my body. And studying Torah, Tehillim, and all related. Is this alright? I am very confused.
