Keeping Shabbat Simple

SHABBAT SHALOM MITZVAH OF TZEDAKAH “Happy are those consider the poor,” Ps. 41:1. This Shabbat we remember the words of Yeshua, King Jesus who called us to share our clothes with the naked and share our bread with the poor. LIGHTING OF THE CANDLES BY WOMAN OF THE HOUSEHOLD Barukh ata Adonai Eloheinu, Melekh ha'olam, asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu l'hadlik ner shel Shabbat. Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the universe, Who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us to kindle the Shabbat lights. May it be your will Lord my God and God of my fathers, to be gracious to me and all my family, crowning our home with the feeling of Your divine presence dwelling among us. Make me worthy to raise learned children and grandchildren who will dazzle the world with Torah/God’s Word and goodness and ensure that the glow of our lives will never be dimmed. Show us the glow of your face and we will be saved. Amen! BIRKHAT HAYELADIN Blessing the Children Read Proverbs 1:8-10, Proverbs 3:1-8, and Proverbs 4:23-27 Blessings for the Boys: Pray a blessing over them and close with this; May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh. Blessing for the Girls: Pray a prayer of blessing over the girls and end with this: May the Lord bless like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah. EYSHET CHAYIL: A WOMAN OF VALOR The husband prays Proverbs 31 and then prays blessings over his wife. A GODLY MAN: The wife reads the following scriptures or others she chooses. Psalms 1:1-5 and Psalms 15. Then she prays blessings over her husband. KIDDUSH (Blessing over the wine or grape juice.) Baruch atah Adonai eloheinu melech ha-alom bor-ay peri ha-gafen. Blessed are You, O Lord our God, Ruler of the universe, creator of the fruit of the vine. You may read Mt.26:27-29 HAMOTZI (Blessing the Bread) Traditionally Challah Bread is Used The custom is for the challah bread to be covered until it is time to bless it. The Husband salts the bread, lifts the challah loaf up and repeats the blessing. You can slice the loaf in small slices or each break off a piece. Baruch ata Adonai Eloheinu melech ha’olam hamotzi lechem min ha’aretz. Blessed are you, Lord our God, ruler of the universe who brings forth bread from the earth. You may read Mt. 26:26, John 6:41, “I am the bread which has come down from heaven,” and Matthew 5:13, “you are the salt of the land.” BIRKAT HAMAZON (Grace After The Meal) Traditionally the meal is eaten after the Kiddush but as long as you do recite the Kiddush one can eat the meal first before starting the Shabbat order. Barukh atah Adonai, Eloheynu Melekh ha’olam, hazzan et ha’olam kullo, b’tuvo, b’cheyn, b’chesed, uv’rachamim. Hu noteyn lechem l’khol basar, kil’olam chasddo. Harachaman hu yanchleynu yom shekulo Shabbat um nuchah l’chayey ha’olamim. Blessed are you Lord our God, King of the Universe, who feeds the entire world in His goodness, with love, kindness, and mercy. He gives food to all people because His kindness lasts forever. May the Merciful God let us inherit the Shabbat of the world to come which will be a complete day of rest (speaking of the Millennial Reign of Yeshua, King Jesus.)
