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.
