Shabbat Made Simple

A gentle weekly system to prepare Shabbat without feeling overwhelmed.

<aside> 🕯️

You only need to do three things: choose your meals, check what you need, then prepare step by step. Everything else is optional support.

Start here: your 3-step Shabbat flow

1. Choose what you will serve

Decide on:

• Friday night: challah, a starter, a main dish, sides and dessert
• Saturday lunch: leftovers or a make-ahead dish, one or two sides, salad and something simple
• Seudah Shlishit: the third, usually light, Shabbat meal — bread, dips, leftovers, fruit or cake

2. Check people and supplies

Before shopping, count adults and children, note allergies or dietary needs, and check your pantry, fridge, freezer and equipment.

3. Prepare calmly

Start with the tasks that take the longest, then finish the table and the final checks before candle lighting.
