How it began
The seventh day
The story of Shabbat begins after the six days of Creation. “And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it He rested from all His work” (Genesis 2:3). But the Almighty did not merely rest on that day — He commanded us, for all time, to keep Shabbat at rest from every weekday task and worry, so that we may give this time to our family, to those close to us, and to our own spiritual growth.
Shabbat is a small weekly miracle that lets us draw closer to the Almighty. Every Friday candle is a spark of that first light of Creation.
How it goes
From the box to the Shabbat table
Bags of pieces, a booklet with notes — and by the end of the evening a model you built yourselves stands on the table.

Unbox
Inside: bags of pieces, the family minifigures and a booklet — instructions and the story of Shabbat.

Step by step: candles, challot, the cup. The child builds, the adult is right there.

What stands on the Shabbat table
The Shabbat table holds a special place in the tradition of this day. It is covered with a white tablecloth.
Candles
Lit candles are placed on the table in beautiful candlesticks.
The Kiddush cup
A special cup is always set out and filled with wine for Kiddush, the blessing that opens the Friday-night meal.
Two challahs
Beside the cup lie two challahs — bread braided like a plait and baked especially for Shabbat.
A book on the table
Many families keep a Chumash or siddur on the Shabbat table — to read the weekly portion and sing zemirot.
Every detail on the Shabbat table tells part of the story.
Meanings
What each detail means
01
The white tablecloth
Stands for the purity and holiness of this day.
02
The candles
Remind us of the commandments to “remember and keep the Sabbath day”. On Shabbat eve the candles are lit, filling the home with light, warmth and peace. In many families girls light a candle of their own, too.
03
The cup of wine
Waits for its moment: the blessing said over it, Kiddush, sanctifies Shabbat.
04
The two challahs
Recall the manna from heaven that the Almighty sent to the Jews in the desert after the Exodus from Egypt — a double portion before Shabbat.
But the most important thing that should “stand” on the table this evening is an atmosphere of joy, calm and family unity. This evening belongs only to those closest to you!
Friday evening
When the whole family gathers
The whole family usually gathers around the Shabbat table. Mom lights the candles, Dad says the blessing over the cup of wine.
The children listen to stories, sing songs, join in family games and eat well!
Good food, beautiful candles and a warm atmosphere make Shabbat a special day for the whole family. What matters most is spending this time together and enjoying every moment.
