What are the times for shabbat this week?

Shabbat is not started by people. It starts at sundown on Friday evening. Women in Jewish tradition "make Shabbat" by making the home clean and baking special bread called Challah and lighting candles before sundown (18 minutes before sundown is the most auspicious time to light the candles) and saying a blessing and thanks. The men have prayers to say and they usually bless the wine.


Why does shabbat take place?

Yes. According to the Tora days are counted from evening to evening because the first days of creation started from evening as it is said "ויהי ערב ויהי בוקר יום אחד" (And there was evening and there was morning, one day", Genesis 1:5).Please note the "night" which is the end of Shabbat is considered the time in which you can see at least three stars. This time changes from place to place. Another note is that it is custom and Mitzva (religious law) to welcome Shabbat a few minutes before sunset so we will add from secular upon holy (להוסיף מחול על קודש).To see exact time of Shabbat in different places please see attached link.

From start to finish what happens in shabbat?

Preparation for Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath, begins Friday afternoon with baking Challah and preparing a festive dinner. It is traditional to light the Shabbat candles 18 minutes before Sunset. The Shabbat evening prayers are traditionally said before dinner, but can be said after, and if there is a synagogue nearby, saying these prayers communally is traditional. Friday evening services end with kiddush, the blessing over bread and wine, and the Friday evening meal begins with kiddush. In the morning, the Shabbat liturgy is long, you typically spend all morning in the synagogue, and at the end of the service, it is quite common for synagogues to host a community kiddush lunch. You can, of course, go home for lunch. Saturday afternoon is a time for rest, social calls and leisure activity. There is a brief Saturday afternoon liturgy that can be right after lunch or before dinner. The dinner at the end of Shabbat typically runs into the early evening, ending with Havdalah, a brief service typically done at home to mark the end of Shabbat. Havdalah can be combined with the weekday evening service and should not be until 3 stars are visible in the sky (an hour after sunset if the sky is cloudy).
