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.

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.
