Today is october 12, 2024 according to the gregorian callender, did shabbat begin for the jewish people yesterday at sunset ? Is today (october 12 2024) still the sabbath until sunset?

Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
Shabbat begins every Friday night at sundown and concludes every Saturday night at nightfall. The exact times can be found in the Jewish calendar of your specific area.
Hence, Shabbat is essentially a 25 hour observance.
