Jews are not allowed to do any 'work'
on Shabbat. This includes: Cooking,
household chores, work (as in Job),
use light or heat (fridges also
included)
There are 2 loaves of bread. The father
blesses the wine first. The bread is
covered in a cloth to stop it 'seeing' the
wine being blessed first and therefore
become jealous.
The mother of the house lights 2
candles and covers her eyes whilst
she blesses them.
It is the Jewish day
of rest
