Shabbat
We usher in the peace and sanctity of Shabbat by lighting candles every Friday evening.
It is customary to give some coins to charity before kindling the Shabbat candles.
Family, friends and guests gather around the table and sing the "Sholom Aleichem," greeting and then bidding farewell to these angels who have accompanied you all Friday night and are now taking leave.
"Eshet Chayil,"(Woman of Valor or Woman of Excellence), is now recited, in praise of both the Shabbat queen and the Jewish woman.
In some communities it is customary for parents to bless their children before the Friday night meal.
Fill the Kiddush cup--an ornate silver import, or a plain glass, anything works, as long as it's a permanent vessel, no plastic please--so that it brims over with wine. Stand up, hold the cup in your right hand, and recite the blessing.
After Kiddush, we wash our hands in the customary manner for eating bread.
Everyone then returns to the table and the head of the household raises the two challot (the special braided bread) and recites the hamotzi ("...Who brings forth bread from the earth"), after which we say "Amen." The challah is cut and dipped into salt. It is eaten right away to avoid interruption between the blessing and eating.
