Reading the Haggadah is a fulfillment of the scriptural commandment to each Jew of Vehigadatah Lebonecha about the Yetziat Mitzrayim as described in Sefer Shemot. (And thou shalt tell thy son in that day, saying: It is because of that which the LORD did for me when I came forth out of Egypt. Ex. 13:8)

This letter was sent by the great Sephardic Sage, the Ramban zt"l, from his city (of Acre in Eretz Yisrael) to his son in Catalina, Spain, to impart to him to act with humility. He instructs him to read it once a week and that others (like his children) should learn it with him as well. He should learn to read it by heart to learn the fear of heaven from his youth. He informs him that on the day that he reads this letter, all that he asks, will be answered by heaven. And whoever will accustom themselves to saying it will spare themselves from all pains and they are assured to inherit the world ...
Shema Yisrael (or Sh'ma Yisrael or just Shema) (Hebrew: שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל) are the first two words of a section of the Torah (Hebrew Bible) that is a centerpiece of the morning and evening Jewish prayer services.
The first verse encapsulates the monotheistic essence of Judaism: Hear, O Israel: the Lord is our God, the Lord is one, found in Deuteronomy 6:4.
Jews consider the Shema to be the most important part of the prayer service in Judaism, and its twice-daily recitation as a Mitzvah. It is traditional for Jews to say the Shema as their last words, and for parents to teach their child ...
Kinnot/קינות (also kinnos, kinoth, qinot, qinoth; singular kinah or qinah) are dirges (sad poems) or elegies traditionally recited by Jews on Tisha B'Av to mourn the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem and other tragedies in Jewish history, including the Crusades and the Holocaust.
The Kinnot are recited on the night of Tisha B'Av after reciting the Book of Lamentations, which was also called Kinnot in the Talmudic era (source) before it assumed its more familiar name of Eichah. The term is also used for a dirge or lament especially as sung by Jewish professional mourning women.

Nishmat Kol Chai (Hebrew: נִשְׁמַת), lit. The breath of every living thing, is a Jewish prayer that is recited following the Song of the Sea during Pesukei D'Zimrah but before Yishtabach on Shabbat and Yom Tov. It is also recited during the Passover Seder.

Yerushalmi: One who recites Parshas Hamon every day is assured that his food will not be lacking.
When our ancestors were in the Wilderness, a month after the Exodus from Egypt, they faced a tomorrow with no food. Justifiably, they asked Moshe Rabbeinu if he had taken them into the desert to starve to death. Hashem responded that in the morning they would see that He had not forsaken them.
In the morning – and every morning for the next 40 years – there was manna waiting for them. By evening there was nothing left, and the next morning, it was there again. Can you imagine how we would fe ...
Perek Shira is the song that is sung every day by all of Hashem's creations in the realms of Domem/דומם, Tzomeyach/צומח, and Chai/חיה. It is believed to have been authored by none-other than Dovid Hamelech / דוד המלך himself, who (like the Holy Ba'al Shem Tov / בעל שם טוב הקדוש) had the power to converse with animals.
Perek Shira has been likened to an orchestra with many different instruments each contributing their unique sound. Every creation sings its unique song, and when they are combined they create "beautiful music".

Shabbat candle-lighting (Hebrew: נרות שבת) are lit on Friday nights, 18 minutes before the Shkia, to usher in the Jewish Sabbath. Lighting Shabbat candles is a Jewish mandated law source. Candlelighting is traditionally done by the woman of the household, but in the absence of a woman, it may be done by man. After lighting the candles, the woman waves her hands over them, covers her eyes, and recites a blessing source. The requirement to light Shabbat candles is of rabbinic origin source.
