The seventh day, when God rested, is sacred to the Jewish people and is separated and distinct from the other days of the week. We welcome Shabbat with Kiddush and part it with Havdalah. The Shabbat table is also unique, with special tablecloths and other liturgical objects such as silver wine goblets with a cover topped with flowers, the use of which is very common among Italian Jews.
The Shabbat lamp is of Ashkenazi origins and is known as Judestern- the Jewish star.
