Seder Shabbat | Prayers for the Shabbat

What do we pray on Shabbat? What is Shabbat and what happens during it? Find out in this booklet! These instructions will prepare you for Friday evening. The prayers are clearly arranged and easy to follow. With the help of this guide, you'll always know what it's all about. Thanks to the simple and concise explanations, you will know exactly what is being done. 

This book is suitable for both beginners and professionals. We have endeavored to include in this collection only standardized prayers and traditions that are accepted in this form by most Jewish movements. Especially in international encounters, it quickly becomes clear how different the performance of some traditions can be. That is why, when designing this Shabbat handbook, we have always taken care to select texts that make this possible.

The prayers and blessings are in Hebrew, transliterated and also translated into English. So there are 3 ways to read the prayers. Like the other siddur books (prayer orders for various Jewish occasions), the booklet starts on the right and you flip through to the left.

In this book you can expect:

- Explanation of the Shabbat traditions

- Facts and terms about Shabbat

- Laws for Shabbat and the forbidden work activities

- Passages about Shabbat in the Torah and the Tanakh

- Instructions for preparing for Shabbat

- Prayers for welcoming Shabbat in the synagogue

- Prayers for welcoming Shabbat at home

- Shabbat songs before the meal

- Birkat ha'mason (blessings after the meal)

- Havdallah (blessings for leaving Shabbat on Saturday evening)

- and other surprises
