The basic necessities for observing Shabbat are:
- Shabbat candles (at least 2) and an appropriate candle holder.
- Wine (Grape Juice is fine if you don't like wine) that is certified kosher.
- Two challot (plural of challah).
Additionally, it's expected that we serve at least two different kinds of meat for the Shabbat dinner (Friday evening) [unless you are a vegetarian].
And, as no cooking is allowed once Shabbat starts, many people use a slow cooker or Shabbat compliant oven (one that doesn't auto-shut off) to prepare a hot meal for lunch Shabbat day (Saturday) in advance.
