Guide to Jewish Holidays
Shabbat Considered the most important holiday of the
Jewish calendar, Shabbat begins every Friday
evening at sunset and lasts through nightfall on
Saturday. As was written in Genesis, God cre-
ated the heavens, the earth and all of its inhabi-
tants in six days. On the evening of the sixth day
and on the seventh day, God rested from this
work. This was the very first Shabbat. As the sun
begins to set on Friday evening, Shabbat is wel-
comed with the blessing over the candles. Before
eating a celebratory meal, kiddush is said over
the wine, and a blessing is said over the challah
— a braided loaf of bread eaten on this night and
on other special occasions. The Torah teaches us
to remember and observe the Sabbath day, and
to keep it holy. Many families create customs at
home to set this day apart from the rest of the
busy week.
