Hello!
Congratulations on your upcoming exams! I can help explain the Jewish vocabulary terms you mentioned, which are indeed related to Shabbat. Here's what they mean:
1. ADFINA: Adfina (also spelled Adafina or Adaphina) is a traditional Sephardic Jewish Sabbath stew that is prepared and cooked before the beginning of Shabbat and then kept warm until it is eaten on Saturday for lunch. It is a slow-cooked stew made with meat, beans, vegetables, and various spices.
2. AMIDA (also known as Amidah or Shemoneh Esrei): Amida is a central prayer in Jewish worship services. It is a series of blessings recited while standing. The Amidah consists of three parts: praise of God, personal requests, and thanks to God. It is recited silently by individuals in their own language or by the congregation together in Hebrew.
3. DECKE: I could not find a specific term related to Shabbat or Jewish vocabulary that matches "Decke." It is possible that it might be a typo or referring to a different term. If you have any additional information, please provide it, and I'll try my best to help you.
4. HANUKIAH (also spelled Hanukkah or Chanukah): Hanukiah is the nine-branched candelabrum used during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights. Each night, one additional candle is lit on the Hanukiah, starting with one candle on the first night and adding one more each subsequent night, until all eight candles plus the "shamash" (helper candle) are lit on the eighth night.
5. URDIN D'CHOL: I couldn't find a specific translation or meaning for "Urdin d'Chol." It is possible that it might be a less common or regional Jewish term. If you have any additional information about its context or origin, please provide it, and I'll do my best to assist you further.
Remember, when encountering unfamiliar vocabulary terms, conducting a quick internet search or consulting relevant Jewish literature or resources can provide more detailed explanations. Good luck with your exams!
