It's Friday evening, and the whole family is at home. Mom lights the Shabbat candles. On the table there is fresh challah and red wine. Dad says the blessing over the wine. There are fresh vegetables, fish, and hot soup. Grandma brings cake for dessert. Everyone talks, laughs, and sings together. It is a happy Shabbat at home.
