ESABBATH EVENING

EREV SHABBAT - tbv br[

BLESSINGS & OBSERVANCES OF THE HOME

B’RACHOT UMINHAGAY BAYIT - tyb yghnmw twkrb

CANDLE LIGHTING - L’HADLIK NEIR - rn qyldhl

Each Shabbat and Festival the people of Yisra’el welcome these holy

days with the lighting of candles. Adonai has given us His Torah, which

commands us to rejoice on Shabbat and on a Yom Tov (Festival).

There are many ways we can do this, but one of the ways our people have

expressed this throughout the centuries is by lighting the Shabbat

candles as a symbol of the joy that fills each Jewish home, and all those

within the commonwealth of Yisra’el, during these sacred times. The two

candles also represent the commandment to remember and keep holy the

Shabbat.

It is the special privilege of a woman to light the candles on Shabbat and

on the Festivals. When there are no women present, a man may light the

candles. It has been said that the woman of the house acts out the part of

Moshe who received the Torah on Mt. Sinai. As she does this, she

covers her head, just as Moshe covered his head as he descended the

mountain. The candles are lit first and with her hands she encircles the lit

candles, as if she is drawing the light to her eyes and into her household.

This also symbolizes Moshe’s request to see God’s glory. Then the

eyes are covered, symbolizing God’s response to Moshe’s request, that

no one can see the face of Adonai and live. The b’rachah is then recited.

The candle lighting takes place approximately eighteen minutes before

sunset. Three alternatives for this blessing will be provided here. The

first will be the traditional blessing, the second a blessing emphasizing the

mitzvah to sanctify the Shabbat, and the third a blessing emphasizing

Yeshua The Messiah as the light of the world.

E PEACE BE UPON YOU

SHALOM ALAYCHEM - ~kyl[ ~wlv

The song “Shalom Alaychem” is a favorite song amongst the “zemirot”

(Shabbat table songs), which generally take place after returning home

from erev Shabbat services and just before the Shabbat meal. If one

doesn’t attend an erev Shabbat service, they may immediately proceed to

the singing of this song. In this hauntingly beautiful song the Messengers

of Adonai are welcomed to join us in our Shabbat celebration and to bring

shalom upon us and our household. As we invite guests to join us for

Shabbat we should remember Ivrim (Hebrews) 13:2 which states, “Do not

forget hospitality, for by this some unknowingly took in angels as

guests”.

EBLESSINGS OF THE FAMILY

BIRCHOT HAMISHPOCHAH - hxpvmh tkrb

One of the beautiful traditions of Erev Shabbat (Sabbath evening) is

to beseech Adonai to bless the members of our family and household.

Traditionally, during this time husbands offer praise to their wives, wives

bless their husbands, children honor their parents, and the father (or

mother) blesses the children. In this section of the siddur there also is a

blessing for single adults who may have come to join in on the Shabbat

celebration. The first of these blessings is the “Eishet Chayil”, taken

from Mishlei (Proverbs) 31.

Who can find a woman of valor? For her value is far above rubies.

The heart of her husband is secure in her, so that he has no lack of

gain. She treats him good, and not badly, all the days of her life.

She searches for wool and flax, and she works willingly with her

hands with delight. She has been like ships trading, from afar she

will bring her food. And, she rises while it is still night and gives meat

to her household, and a portion for her maidens. She considers a

field and she buys it; from the fruit of her hands she plants a

vineyard. She girds her loins with strength, and she strengthens her

arms. She perceives that her gain is good, her lamp is not

extinguished by night.

She has extended her hands on the distaff, and her hands have

held a spinning rod. Her palm distributes to the poor, and she puts

forth her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of snow for her

household, for all her household are clothed doubly. She makes

coverings for herself of fine linen and purple to clothe herself. Her

husband is known in the gates, when he sits with the elders of the

land. She makes fine linen and sells it, and a sash she supplies to

the merchant. Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she

rejoices for a day to come.

She opens her mouth in wisdom, and the law of kindness is upon

her tongue. She is watching the ways of her household, and is not

eating the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her

blessed, also her husband, and he praises her: Many daughters

have done valiantly, and you excel above all of them! Favor is

deceitful, and beauty is vain, a woman having the fear of Adonai,

she shall be praised. Give to her from the fruit of her hands, and let

her works praise her in the gates.

Tehillim (Psalms) 1

12

Blessed is the man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the ungodly and

in the way of sinners hasn't stood and in the seat of scoffers hasn't

sat, but in the Torah of Adonai he delights and in His Torah he will

meditate by day and night. And, he shall be like a tree planted by

streams of water, which will bring forth his fruit in his season, and his

leaf doesn't wither, and all that he will do will prosper. Not so are the

wicked, but they are like chaff which is driven away by wind.

Therefore, the wicked will not stand in the judgment and sinners in the

congregation of the righteous. For Adonai knows the way of the

just, and the way of the wicked is lost.

EBLESSINGS OF THE CHILDREN

BIRCHOT HA-YELADIM - ~ydlyh tkrbIt is traditional for the Father or Mother to place their hands on the head of

each child and pronounce the blessings below. “Ephraim” means, “fruitful”

and the name “Menasheh” means, “causing to forget”. This blessing asks

that Adonai make our sons fruitful in keeping His mitzvot and producing

righteous descendents. It also looks forward to a time when Adonai will wipe

away every tear (Rev. 21:3-4). In the second blessing for our daughters we ask

that Adonai would make them like the righteous Matriarchs of old, that He

would make them the mothers of the next righteous generation, and that they

would be a fruitful vine around our table.

׃הש נ מ כ ו םי ר פ א כ היםאל מ ש י and like Menasheh like Efrayim God, May He make you,

v’chim-nasheh. k’ef-ra-yim Elohim Y’sim-cha .

May God make you like Efrayim and like Menasheh.

׃ותרו הא ל לח ר קהב ר הר ש כ היםאל מ יש י & Ruth. Leah, Rachel, Rebecca, like Sarah, God, May He make you,

v’Rut. Lei-ah, Racheil, Riv-kah, k’Sarah, Elohim Y’simeich ..

May God make you like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, Leah, and Ruth.

ESABBATH EVENING KIDDUSH

KIDDUSH L’LAYIL SHABBAT - tbv lyll vwdyq

Kiddush is usually said over a cup of wine or grape juice. The word

“kiddush” means “sanctification”, coming from the Hebrew word for “holy”.

Shemot (Exodus) 20:8 states, “Remember to keep the day of Shabbat

holy”. Wine is a symbol of joy and is used to express the joy we feel on

Shabbat. Yeshaiyahu (Isaiah) 58:13 tells us, “…call the Shabbat a delight,

to the holiness of HaShem”. This blessing begins with B’resheet (Genesis)

1:31-2:3 and ends with thanking Adonai for the gift of the holy Shabbat:

. ויהי ערב ויהי בקר יום הששי the sixth - day morning, & there was evening & there was

hash-shish-shi yom voker vai-hi erev vai-hi .

. כלו השמים והארץ וכל צבאם וי their host. & all & the Earth the Heavens & were finished

la-asot Elohim bara asher m’lach-to mikkol shavat .

And, there was morning and there was evening, the sixth day. And, all

the Heavens and the Earth were finished, and all their host. And,

.

15

God finished His work, which He made on the seventh day, and He

rested on the seventh day from all His work, which He had made.

And, God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, for in it He

rested from all His work, which God created to make.

work of creation. For it is the first day of the holy convocations, a

memorial of the exodus of Egypt. For you chose us and sanctified us

from all the peoples, and You granted us Your holy Shabbat in love

and favor. Blessed are You, Lord, who sanctifies the Shabbat.

E WASHING OF HANDS - N’TILAT YADAYIM - ~ydy tlyjn

Shemot (Exodus)19:6 states, “And you will be a kingdom of cohanim

(priests) for me…”. Before the ancient cohanim (priests) came into the

presence of Adonai they would wash their hands and feet (Shemot/Exo.

30:19). Likewise, we also wash our hands as we dedicate them to serve the

God of Yisr’ael and His Messiah Yeshua. It is a physical reminder of a

spiritual truth. Tehillim (Psalms) 24:3-4 states, "Who may go up to the

mountain of HaShem? Who can stand in his holy place? Those with clean

hands and pure hearts...". And, Ya'akov (James) 4:8 exhorts us to, "Come

close to God, and he will come close to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners;

and purify your hearts, you double-minded people!".

17

The wash basin and pitcher are passed around the table. Traditionally,

the water is poured on each hand three times – right, left, right, left,

right, left. After washed, the hands are clasped or raised and the

blessing is said.

הינוניאד אתה ברו אשר, העולם מל אwho The Universe King of our God Lord are You Blessed

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King Of The Universe, who

sanctified us in His commandments and commanded us concerning the

washing of the hands.

EBLESSING OVER BREAD - HAMOTZI - aycwmh

As we recite the Hamotzi, the blessing over bread, we are reminded of a

few spiritual truths. Devarim (Deuteronomy) 8:3 states, “…man does not

live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the

mouth of HaShem”. And, Yochanan (John) 6:35 says, "Yeshua

answered, "I am the bread which is life! Whoever comes to me will never

go hungry...". In addition, the two loaves of challah on the Shabbat table

are reminiscent of the double portion of manna (Shemot/Exodus16:4-

30) that was provided by Adonai as a sign of His faithfulness reminding

us that Adonai will take care of our material needs as we rest on the holy

Shabbat. The challah loaves also remind us of the morning and evening

sacrifices upon the altar. It is customary to add salt to the challah, just as

the sacrifices in the Beit HaMikdash (Holy Temple) were salted before

being consumed (Vayikra/Leviticus 2:13).

18

,הינו מל העולם אניאדברו אתה The Universe King of our God Lord are You Blessed


המוציא לחם מן הארץ the Earth from bread Who brings forth

ha-aretz min lechem hammotzi .

Blessed are you, Lord our God, King Of The Universe, Who

brings forth the bread from the Earth.

The Shabbat meal is served…

ETABLE SONGS FOR SHABBAT

Z’MIROT L’SHABBAT - tbvl twrymz

While family and friends are gathered around the Shabbat table it is traditional

to sing songs that are both joyful and glorifying to Adonai. These songs are

called “z’mirot” in Hebrew. There are many Shabbat z’mirot, but the following

are a few popular z’mirot that we may sing. May the Shabbat table be

surrounded with light and joy on our holy day. L’chaim b’Yeshua! To life in

Yeshua!

COME MY BELOVED - L’CHA DODI - ydwd hklWhen we sing “L’cha Dodi”, we are reminded of the connection the Shabbat

has to the Bride of Adonai, for it is the sign of the covenant between

Adonai and His people (Shemot/Exo. 31:13). In this context, much like a

wedding ring, the Shabbat is the visible sign that Adonai gives to His people

to show who He is betrothed to. The ring itself can symbolize the Kallah

(Bride). The Shabbat is also connected to the Bride in a prophetic sense

because He will gather His Bride unto Himself during the millenial Shabbat

(Rev. 19:7). It will be during this time that there will be a great wedding feast,

and a time where He will dwell with His Bride forever. As the Bride of

Adonai, we must embrace the Shabbat and allow Adonai to dawn the

Shabbat upon our hand as a sign between He and Yisra’el.

* Chorus: Come my beloved to meet the Bride, let us receive the

presence of Shabbat.

Vs.1: “Keep” and “remember” were uttered as one, the God who is

unique let us hear. The Lord is one and His name is one, for fame, and

for splendor and for praise. *

Vs. 2: Let us come and go to meet Shabbat, for she is a source of

blessing. From the ancient beginning she was royal, the last action was

the first intention. *

Vs. 3: The Sanctuary of The King, City of Majesty, arise, emerge

from among the turmoil. You have dwelt much in the valley of tears, and

He shall have pity upon you and has spared. *

Vs. 4: Shake yourself from the dust, arise, wear your glorious garments,

my people. By the hand of Yishai’s son, the Bethlemite, draw near to

my soul, redeem it! *

Vs. 5: Awaken, awaken, for your light has come. Arise! Shine! Wake

up, wake up, speak out a song, the glory of Adonai is revealed upon

you.*

Vs. 6: Don’t be ashamed and don’t be downcast. Why be brought low

and why moan? In you are sheltered the poor of my people, and The

City will be built on her ruins. *

Vs. 7: And your plunderers shall be for spoil and all who destroy you

will be far away. Your God shall rejoice over you, as a Groom rejoices

over a Bride. *

Vs. 8: To the right and left you will break out. And, you will revere

Adonai. By the hand of the man of Peretz’s son we will be glad and we

will rejoice. *

Vs. 9: Come in peace, the crown of her husband, both in gladness and

in cheer, amidst the faithful, precious people. Come O Bride! Come

O Bride! *

A Song of The Ascents. When Adonai turned back the captivity of

Tziyon, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was full of

laughter, and our tongue with joyful shouting; then they said among

the nations, Adonai has done great things with these. Adonai has

done great things with us; we have been joyful. Return our exile, O

Adonai, like the streams of the South. Those who sow in tears shall

reap with joy. Surely he who walks and weeps, bearing the precious

seed, he will surely come with rejoicing, bearing his sheaves.

E CONCLUSION OF SHABBAT - HAVDALAH - hldbhThe Havdalah service closes the Shabbat. The word “havdalah” means

to differentiate or separate. It is reminding us that we are leaving the

sacred Shabbat and going back into the secular days of the week. As we

do so, we want to carry over part of the Shabbat into the week.

Havdalah is generally observed after three stars have appeared in the

late Shabbat evening sky. The blessings of havdalah are said over an

overflowing cup of the “fruit of the vine” symbolizing our desire that the

week be overflowing in sweetness, just as our joy was in the Shabbat.

The braided candle is symbolic of our joining together in the Messiah

and in His Shabbat and Festivals. We become One in Him and with

Him, the True Light of the world. A spice box containing sweet spices

reminds us of the sweet aroma that Adonai’s Shabbat brings into our

lives, a little of which we carry over into the new week. The song “Eliyahu

HaNavi” (Elijah the Prophet), which is said at the end of Havdalah,

causes us to look forward to the return of Messiah Yeshua.
