[quote=Anonymous]Next time you host something, have your DH pull his dad aside before the dinner and tell him that he is going to lead the table in the "grace" that your family normally uses and dad doesn't need to offer one. It might have been that your FIL didn't think that your DH had anything prepared and thought he was helping out. It is still annoying, but I wouldn't bother addressing past actions and would focus on preventing future behaviors. And, I would not worry about having offended your Jewish friends. My DH is Jewish and I am not, so I have been at plenty of Shabbat and High Holiday Jewish dinners. There is always a Jewish prayer at the beginning of the meal, usually in Hebrew and usually with the lighting of candles. No reasonable person participating in a holiday/family celebration for another person's religion would be offended by a prayer before dinner. It is part of agreeing to be present at the meal itself.
