Shabbos Essentials — The Complete Guide
Everything You Need for a Geshmak Shabbos — From Licht to Havdalah
B"H, Shabbos is the crown of the week, and every heimish home deserves to be set up right. At Judaica Square we stock the silver licht, challah boards, kiddush bechers, havdalah sets, zemiros bentchers, and tablescape pieces that klal Yisroel has been using for generations — from Hadad Bros sterling to the heimish artisan shops in Eretz Yisroel. Whether it's a chassan-kallah just setting up their bayis ne'eman, a chanukas habayis matanah, or just replacing the bentcher your kinderlach went through — we've got you, iy"H.
Licht — Candlesticks & Candelabras
The minhag is famously: one candle for chassan-kallah on their first Shabbos, then a neir for every kind, up to the 10-branch silver centerpieces bubby wants on her Shabbos table. We stock:
- Sterling silver pairs from Hadad Bros and Hazorfim — $180 starter sets up to $4,500 heirloom pieces
- Candelabras with 5, 7, or 10 branches — for bubbies whose kinderlach are bli ayin hara
- Crystal & glass — modern look, dishwasher-safe (halevai)
- Traveling sets with pushka-tight lids for bein-hazmanim trips
Kiddush Bechers & Trays
Every Shabbos deserves a proper becher. From the classic yeshivish-standard sterling becher to the ornate heirloom pieces chassanim get engraved for their chuppah — we stock the full range. Kiddush trays in matching silver, plus the smaller bechers for mezuman by the kinderlach.
Challah Boards, Knives & Covers
Wooden challah boards (some with pesukim inlaid), silver-rimmed glass boards, challah knives engraved free with the family name, and challah covers — velvet, embroidered, silk — in every minhag.
Havdalah
The full havdalah set — besomim holder (silver tower, heshek-shaped spice box, or classic pomegranate), havdalah candle holder, and becher. Plus the actual besomim — cloves, cinnamon sticks, or silk-sewn potpourri bags that last a year.
Zemiros & Bentchers
From the classic ArtScroll bentcher to custom-printed wedding bentchers with the chassan-kallah's name and chuppah date. Zemiros seforim in Hebrew-English or Yiddish, with every minhag's nusach. Call us for bulk-simcha bentcher pricing (50+) — we'll print them with the shem and drop them at the hall.
FAQs
What should a chassan-kallah start with?
The minhag is: a pair of sterling licht, a silver becher for kiddush, a challah board + knife, a havdalah set, and a bentcher with their name. Our "Chassan-Kallah Shabbos Set" bundles these at a mehudar-priced discount. Call us — we'll walk you through it, iy"H.
Do you engrave?
B"H yes — free engraving in Hebrew or English on silver pieces, challah knives, bechers, and bentchers. Allow 3–5 extra business days.
