Although rarely heard of today, the tradition of "lilt el haad" (saturday night) was rigorously observed by the generations of our grand parents and even our parents. 

No object whatsoever could be taken out of the house on saturday night. Anything that was food,clothing, all possessions were considered blessed during the Shabbat and were to remain inside the house in fear that the blessing of the Shabbat would vanish. Therefore anyone invited during the Shabbat would not be allowed to leave until sunday morning.

 DAFINA 

Traditional meal of Shabbat, this delicacy made of wheat, dried peas and meat was slowly cooked overnight in a low-temp oven.
The word comes from arabic "dafina or adafina" meaning "covered, smothered".
