Jewish Sabbath and Festival Rites

Rites that mark the Jewish week and its festivals: the Kiddush blessing and Havdalah at the opening and close of the Sabbath, the Shabbat observance itself, the Tashlich casting of sins at the New Year and the Passover Seder meal. A ritual belongs here when its cited article describes a Jewish rite fixed to the Sabbath or a festival day. It excludes life cycle rites and the calendar rites of other traditions, which sit in their own groups.
