Shabbat Evening Home Ritual |
Please note that this page contain the name of God. |
| Setting the Table |
|---|
| The sabbath table should be set with at least two candles (representing the dual commandments to remember and observe the sabbath), a glass of wine, and at least two loaves of challah. The challah loaves should be whole, and should be covered with a bread cover, towel or napkin. |
| Lighting Candles |
|---|
| Candles should be lit no later than 18 minutes before sundown. For the
precise time when shabbat begins in your area, consult the list of candle
lighting times provided by the
Orthodox Union or any
Jewish calendar.
At least two candles should be lit, representing the dual commandments to remember and to keep the sabbath. The candles are lit by the woman of the household. After lighting, she waives her hands over the candles, welcoming in the sabbath. Then she covers her eyes, so as not to see the candles before reciting the blessing, and recites the blessing. The hands are then removed from the eyes, and she looks at the candles, completing the mitzvah of lighting the candles. |

| After Kiddush and before the meal, each person in the household should wash hands by filling a cup with water and pouring it over the top and bottom of the right hand and then the left hand. Before wiping the hands dry on a towel, the following blessing should be recited. |
Barukh atah Adonai, Elohaynu, melekh ha-olam, Blessed are You, Lord, our God, King of the Universe, |
|
asher kidshanu bmitzvotav, vtzivanu al n'tilat yadayim who sanctifies us with his commandments, and commands us concerning washing of hands. |
| Ha-Motzi |
|---|
| Immediately after washing hands and before eating, the head of the household should remove the cover from the two challah loaves, lifting them while reciting the following blessing. The challah is then ripped into pieces or sliced and passed around the table, so that each person may have a piece. The family meal may then begin. |
