From sunset on Friday evening to sundown Saturday night is considered the Sabbath (Shabbat) for the Jewish people. On Friday at sunset, at least two candles are lit and blessed to welcome in the Shabbat. Traditionally, this is a role of women in Judaism. During Shabbat, there are three meals eaten: One on Friday evening, two on Saturday. At the first two of these meals, challah (the twisted bread) is blessed and eaten. The meals don't begin without two loaves of bread. Any whole loaf of bread can be used, but it is tradional for most Jews to use challah.

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.
What is the symbolic Jewish meaning of the breaking of bread?
Bread was called the "staff of life" because it was such an important part of people's diet until recently.

Because bread is so central to the meal, the blessing which is said during the breaking of bread covers all other foods eaten during the same meal.

What is the connection between yeast and Christianity?
Very little, it is the Jewish faith that is concerned with yeast (or leaven). For passover the Jewish people must clean their houses of all chametz (leavened products) are removed and make their bread without any. The only connection with Christianity is that the communion wafer (following on from the bread that Christ shared with his disciples at the last supper) is usually unleavened - this is because Christ was a Jew and the bread he shared was unleavened passover bread.
