shabbat dinner
Friday evening feast
Shabbat dinner is the meal that begins the Jewish Sabbath, eaten on Friday evening after sundown.
The ritual typically includes lighting candles, blessing wine (kiddush), and breaking challah bread.
It's a weekly gathering for family and community, often the most important shared meal of the week: We're hosting Shabbat dinner this Friday.
