Celebrate Shabbat with a Traditional Friday Night Shabbat Dinner
Celebrate Shabbat with a traditional Friday night Shabbat dinner. Come and join old and new friends as we sing, eat, schmooze together as one family. Le’Chaim!
Shabbat traditionally includes three required meals: Friday night dinner, Saturday lunch, and the third meal in late afternoon. For non-Orthodox Jews, Friday night dinner is the most popular Shabbat meal. Typical Shabbat foods include challah (braided bread) and wine, which are both blessed before the meal begins.
According to the Torah, Shabbat commemorates the day that God rested from creating the world; the word Shabbat literally means “he rested.” Exodus 34:21 states: “Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest.” Shabbat is considered a day of peace and holiness.
