Question

The Talmudic tractate Ta’anit states that each person is given two souls on this day for extra holiness and spirituality. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this weekly Jewish Day of Rest on which two candles are lit prior to reciting the kiddush and motzi.
ANSWER: Shabbat [accept Shabbos or the Sabbath]
[10h] Two answers required. The Shabbat candlesticks often symbolize these two words, which were “uttered as one” according to the first verse of “Lecha Dodi” (“le-HAH doh-DEE”). One of them is stated in the Fourth Commandment, and the other is used in Deuteronomy to paraphrase that commandment. You may give the Hebrew terms or their English translations.
ANSWER: shamor AND zachor [accept in either order; accept observe or keep in place of “shamor”; accept remember in place of “zachor”]
[10m] Two challah loaves are served on Shabbat to commemorate how this substance would not spoil after the sixth day. This substance arrived with the dew overnight but needed to be gathered before the sun could melt it.
ANSWER: manna [or man (“mon”)]
