Torah-observant Jews pray and say numerous blessings every day. Unique to the Sabbath are: the Musaf (Additional) prayer, which speaks of the service in the Holy Temple; Kiddush, which is blessings said over a cup of wine to begin the Sabbath meal; Zemiros, which are songs of praise sung at the Sabbath meals; and Havdalah, a set of blessings marking the end of the Sabbath.
we make a special public Kiddush celebration on the first Sabbath.
