Shabbat
Each of the first two meals begins with a blessing over wine.  Next, there is a blessing on bread.  In the Bible, God gave the Israelites two portions of manna every Friday so they would not need to collect it on Shabbat. At each of the first two Shabbat meals, there are two loaves of bread. This is to remind them of the double portion of manna. At these meals, Jews serve the best food they have money to buy.  They use their best plates and silverware. At each meal, they sing special songs, called zemirot, to honor Shabbat.  The first two Shabbat meals are large and formal.
