Shabbat Checklist

About

Shabbat Checklist helps observant Jewish families prepare for Shabbat and the holidays — calmly, together, and on time. Every week brings the same race against sundown. Shabbat Checklist keeps it all in one place: what to do, when candle lighting is, who is handling what, and what is still left before Shabbat begins.
