Shabbat is the most important day of the week. It is a day of rest, prayer and a time to recharge our batteries. Shabbat begins at sunset on Friday and ends on Saturday evening after three stars appear in the sky at which time we recite the havdalah service. This service separates the calm and holiness of Sabbath from the chaos and tumult of the work week. Blessings over candles and challah are below: Consult your prayer book for the full blessing over wine as well as the havdalah service.
