As the Chofetz Chaim famously stated in the Mishnah Berurah, one
cannot be fully Shomer Shabbos without first studying the Halachos.
Since Shabbos represents such an fundamental element of Yiddishkeit
and since it is our weekly lesson of Emunah in the creation of the
world, it is certainly worthwhile to improve our Shabbos observance.
The first place to start is Hilchos Shabbos. Some possible books to
study are:
The 39 Melochos - R' Dovid Ribiat
