He wanted to enjoy his son's food so that the blessing would be a heartfelt one. This is also why he kissed his son before blessing him (Genesis ch.27).
How many challahs can you bake for a Shabbat dinner?
As many as you think you'll need. Two is the MINIMUM required for the ritual blessing at the beginning of each Shabbat meal, whether or not they'll be needed for the meal. Note that all the baking is done ahead of time, well before Friday night, since there's no cooking or baking once Shabbat begins.
What is a kiddush cup and how is it used?
Drinking from the kiddush cup is an important part of Shabbat and most Jewish holidays. The word kiddush refers not to the cup itself but to the blessing said over the wine or grape juice in the cup, an event that blesses and sanctifies the holiday and it one of the chief ways (along with avoiding the 39 categories of work forbidden during Shabbat) that Jews abide by the mitzvah("commandment") to observe these special days. Reciting the kiddush blessing before the meal eaten after nightfall on Shabbat (the first meal of Shabbat) is commanded by the Torah whereas reciting it before other meals during Shabbat is a tradition of rabbinic orgin, meaning that rabbis decided it should be done without the Torah commanding it. Reciting kiddush before the last meal during Shabbat is largely optional - most Jews do not, but the 12th Century rabbi, doctor and philosopher Maimonides, who still has an enormous influence on Jewish thought to this day, believed that it should be carried out and so there are many Jews who do.A kiddush cup can be any cup and of any material, but as is commonly the case with any ceremonial object (such as the crucifix a Christian might wear, the idols used by Hindus in their household temples and so on) people like to have a cup and so most are made of silver and often beautifully decorated.

What do the Jews do on the shabbat at home?
Shabbat dinner on Friday Evening is usually the most elaborate meal of the week. Observant Jews will light shabbat candles at home just before sunset, and begin the meal with kiddush, a special prayer and blessing over wine and bread. The bread is frequently challah, specially baked for Shabbat. If there is not a communal Shabbat kiddush luncheon in the synagogue, Shabbat lunch at home may be more ornate than the usual lunch, either with cold leftovers from dinner, or special dishes like cholent that are slow cooked overnight. At the end of Shabbat, there is a special prayer and ritual called Havdallah that divides Shabbat from the mundane days of the week. All of the Shabbat religious services can be held in the home for Jews who do not go to the synagogue for communal services.
What ritual do jewish people follow on friday?
Sunset Friday evening is the start of Shabbat (the Sabbath), so typical rituals Friday afternoon include making challah (special bread, usually braided) for Shabbat dinner, and part of this is "taking challah," removing two balls of dough, the size of large marbles, and tossing them in the back of the oven to be burned after saying a blessing. No later than just before sunset, the Shabbat candles are lit, with a blessing. Traditionally, this and "taking challah" was the woman's obligation. After the candles are lit, the meal begins with Shabbat Kiddush, a blessing over the wine, and then over the challah. The challah is usually covered with anything from a napkin to an ornate challah cover during the blessing over the wine "to keep it from being embarrassed." If a family can only afford meat one meal a week, tradition says they should eat that meat for their Shabbat dinner, but this does not demand meat at the Sabbath, it merely asks that the Shabbat dinner be the best meal of the week. If you're going to splurge one meal a week, this is it. After the meal, since it did contain bread, the longer grace after meals is said, with Shabbat additions. (the tradition has shorter graces after meals with no bread, and even shorter forms if the meal has no grain products at all.) In addition, there are communial Erev Shabbat (Shabbat Eve) services. Traditionally, only men are obligated to attend these. The Erev Shabbat service may be before dinner, frequently combined with a Friday afternoon service, or it may be after dinner. The time of sunset swings wildly for those not living near the equator, so some communities do things differently in the summer and winter.
If you board a flight before shabbat is it okay to land on shabbat?
Religiously observant Jews would not board a plane if Shabbat were to start while in transit. The issue wouldn't be landing during Shabbat, the issue would be flying during Shabbat.
