Shabbat is our day of rest - it is a joy, not a burden. Saturday evening After the sun goes down many families bid farewell to Shabbat and usher in the new week by a service called Havdalah . Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the universe, who has set us apart by your commandments and has commanded us to kindle the Sabbath lights. Wine or Grape Juice represent joy, with this blessing we are thanking the Lord for the joy he gives us. Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.
