From start to finish what happens in shabbat?

Answer 1

Preparation for Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath, begins Friday afternoon with baking Challah and preparing a festive dinner. It is traditional to light the Shabbat candles 18 minutes before Sunset. The Shabbat evening prayers are traditionally said before dinner, but can be said after, and if there is a synagogue nearby, saying these prayers communally is traditional. Friday evening services end with kiddush, the blessing over bread and wine, and the Friday evening meal begins with kiddush. In the morning, the Shabbat liturgy is long, you typically spend all morning in the synagogue, and at the end of the service, it is quite common for synagogues to host a community kiddush lunch. You can, of course, go home for lunch. Saturday afternoon is a time for rest, social calls and leisure activity. There is a brief Saturday afternoon liturgy that can be right after lunch or before dinner. The dinner at the end of Shabbat typically runs into the early evening, ending with Havdalah, a brief service typically done at home to mark the end of Shabbat. Havdalah can be combined with the weekday evening service and should not be until 3 stars are visible in the sky (an hour after sunset if the sky is cloudy).
