It is permissible and customary to eat hot food that was cooked before the Sabbath

and kept warm. Warming food for Shabbat lunch can be achieved by keeping an oven

on, using a hotplate, or using a slow cooker. (As long as the flame/heat is not

tended, increased in strength, or decreased in strength, this process of warming is,

according to Torah law as elaborated and detailed in the Talmud, not in violation of

the prohibition against cooking.)

Do jews eat the seder meal on shabbat?

The Jews eat the Passover Seder meal on the night of Passover (Pesach). It makes little difference whether Passover begins on Shabbat or on a weekday. Note that there are festive meals on every Shabbat, but they are not called "seder" and the foods are different.


What meat can't the Jews eat on the sabbath?

There is no prohibition against eating kosher meat during Shabbat. The reverse is true; it's expected that meat be eaten during the two main Shabbat meals. On Passover, Jews cannot eat leavened bread (whereas they can at other times of the year). Shabbat does not mirror this. The same kosher rules for the rest of the week apply on Shabbat. Jews cannot eat pork on any day of the week and conversely, Jews can eat tuna or kosher meat on any day of the week.

There is no prohibition against eating in a restaurant during Shabbat. Shabbat and kashrut observant Jews would require that the restaurant be kosher.

What food is not allowed during shabbat?

Religiously observant Jews will never eat non-kosher foods, regardless of which day of the week it is. Less observant Jews will make a point to eat kosher food during Shabbat. Non-observant Jews usually don't pay any attention to whether or not the food they are eating is kosher.

Do orthodox Jews eat kiddush?

"Kiddush" is not a foodstuff, it is an action. The word literally means "hallowing". Orthodox Jews perform Kiddush when Shabbat begins (Friday evening), which involves the blessing of candles, wine, bread, and God's love for the Jewish people. Following that they drink some of the blessed wine and blessed bread and this leads into a Shabbat meal that takes up much of the rest of the night.


Why do Jews eat challah at sabbath?

Jews eat what they eat during Shabbat because it's often what was the traditional foods from where their families came from. Religiously observant Jews won't cook food during Shabbat because that involves forms of work (lighting fire, cutting, etc) that are prohibited during Shabbat. This does not mean that hot food can't be eaten, things like slow cookers are used to prepare warm meals for lunch during Shabbat.


What are Jew' waiting for?

Jews wait for all sorts of thing, for Shabbat to start each week, for challah to bake, for the end of Pesach so that they can eat bread again, and the list goes on endlessly.
