The head of the household says the kiddush blessing the sabbath (and similar prayers are said on Jewish holidays as well). These prayers essentially explain the background for the holiness of the day, and also include a blessing for the food which is about to be consumed.

At every meal a (generally silent) prayer is said thanking G-d for supplying the food. Separate prayers are said before eating bread, other foodstuffs, fruit and wine. On Sabbath and holidays, the head of the household says the prayer over wine or bread symbolically to indicate the entire meal, and the appropriate prayers are repeated silently by all the other participants.

Note that in Non-Orthodox households, there is no gender requirement for who says what blessing. Furthermore, in Orthodox households with only one gender (a widow with daughters, for example) there is also no gender requirements for who says what blessing.

Is working on the Sabbath right?

AnswerWhether it is right to work on the Sabbath depends on religious beliefs. For example, Orthodox Jews would say it is not right; liberal Jews would support the right to do so, especially in the essential services; while secular Jews would say that the Sabbath does not really matter. Similarly, some fundamental Christians would see work on Sundays as wrong, whereas most Christians would have no serious objections and atheists, once again, would say that the Sabbath does not really matter.AnswerJesus taught that resting on the Sabbath was for the well-being and benefit of humans. He also taught that some work may be necessary or unavoidable.

What do English people say before a meal?

People who speak English, or people from England? Either way, many people pray before meals, but many don't. Sometimes they will say "Enjoy your meal," or "Yummy! Pot Roast!" or "Please pass the butter." ____ If the person is a Jehovah's Witness, they give thanks before a meal and they can be of any nationality ___ Sadly English people rarely say a grace before meals these days. Usually a grace is only said before formal meals, say at an important formal dinner or at a college or university meal. When I was in school in the 1960's it was the rule to say a grace before our midday meal. the one I vaguely remember was something like "Almighty and most merciful God bless this food to our use and our lives to Thy purpose. Amen"
