 The Procedure of the First Shabbat Meal

It is a positive Torah command to consecrate Shabbat with words praising the sanctity of the day. This is fulfilled by means of the Kiddush, at which one fills a cup with kosher wine or grape juice, and says:.
Va'yehi erev, va'yehi boker yom ha'shishi: Va'yechulu ha'shamayim ve'ha'aretz v'chol tzevo'om. Va'yechal Elo-him ba'yom ha'shevi'i mikol melachto asher asa. Va'yevarech Elo-him et yom ha'shevi'i va'yekadesh oto, ki vo shavat mikol melachto asher bara Elo-him la'asot.
"Baruch Ata Ado-nai Elo-heinu Melech Ha'Olam, borei peri ha'gafen
Baruch Ata Ado-nai Elo-heinu Melech Ha'Olam, asher kideshanu b'mitzvosav v'ratzah vanu, v'Shabbat  kodsho b'ahavah u'v'ratzon hinchilanu, zikaron leMa'aseh Bereshit. Ki hu yom techila le'mikraei kodesh, zecher li'yetziat Mitzrayim, veShabbat kodshecha be'ahava u'veratzon hinchaltanu. Baruch Ata Ado-nai mekadesh HaShabbat.

The Shabbat Meals

Shabbat meals are not mere dinners, but very sacred ones. This meal is a propitious time for a spiritual ascent which sheds blessingon the entire family. It is an opportunity to educate ones children, to discuss the parsha [weekly Torah reading] with them, to inspire them to observe the Torah and to inculcate them with good character traits. It is preferable to teach the laws of Shabbat from a halacha book.

Ritual Hand Washing (Netilas Yodoyim) Before Eating Bread

One fills a special washing cup, or a large cup, with water, which he then pours on his hands in succession, and recites; “Baruch Ata Ado-nai Elo-heinu Melech ha’olam asher kidshanu be’mitzvosav ve’tzivanu al netilat yadayim.” [There are special laws regarding this procedure.]

On Shabbat we take two challos, or even sliced bread if one has forgotten to buy challos, and recite the blessing: “Baruch Ata Ado-nai Elo-heinu Melech ha'olam, ha'motzi lechem min ha’aretz,” and then eats a piece of challah. After that, the family partakes of the Shabbat night meal.
