It is written in the Torah: Remember the Shabbat day in order to make it holy. For six days of the week you will toil and do all of your work, but the seventh day is Shabbat for the Lord, your God.<sup>1</sup> You will not do any work—you,<sup>2</sup> your son, your daughter, your servant, your maidservant, your animals, and the convert who lives within your gates. We are commanded to rest on Shabbat because the Lord made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything in them in six days, and He rested on Shabbat, the seventh day—therefore, the Lord blessed the Shabbat day and made it holy.
When a festival occurs on Shabbat, continue with אֵלֶּה, page 602.

On Chol Hamoed Sukkot, when making Kiddush in the sukkah, add the following blessing. Glance at the s’chach (the sukkah covering) while saying the words לֵישֵׁב בַּסֻּכָּה.
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר

Blessed are You, Lord, our God, King of the universe, Who made us holy with His commandments and commanded us to sit in the sukkah. (Amen)
Drink at least 2 ounces of the wine while seated.
Before eating bread wash your hands: After checking that your hands are completely clean, pick up a filled cup of water in the right hand and pass it to the left hand. Pour three times on the right hand and then three times on the left hand, covering the entire hand to the wrist with water each time.
After washing, rub your hands together and recite the blessing of עַל נְטִילַת יָדַיִם on page 165, then dry your hands and don’t speak until after saying הַמּוֹצִיא and eating the bread.
Before saying the blessing over the two loaves of bread, gently mark (but do not cut) one of them with your knife. Hold both loaves in your hands,<sup>4</sup> make the blessing, then cut a piece and eat it.
If there are others present at the meal who are not saying a blessing over their own two loaves of bread, they should listen to your blessing and receive a piece from your bread. It is customary for them to say the blessing for bread over their own piece before eating it.
Place salt on the table and dip the piece of bread into the salt before eating it. The Torah says that salt must be offered with every sacrifice, and we commemorate this law by having salt on the table, which is compared to an altar. According to kabbalah, you should dip the piece of bread into the salt three times.
