KOL HASHONEH HALACHOT BECHOL YOM MUVTACH LO SHEHOO BEN HAOLAM HABA


For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L.
Translated from Yalkut Yosef:

1. Whoever does not have enough money to buy groceries and necessary products for Shabbat Kodesh, this person should borrow money (even with interest in the halachically allowed way which can be done by asking your Rabbi), in order to experience and do the Mitzvah of Oneg Shabbat. Hashem will find a way to give money to this person to pay off their debt. There are those who say that one can even be lenient and borrow even in a way where they are violating Ribeet DeRabanan (the Rabbinical prohibition of borrowing with interest). However, Lechatchila (the best way) is when one writes a borrowing contract that says it was allowed under Heter Iska (a Rabbi’s supervision).

2. Every man is obligated in doing Kibud Shabbat and Oneg Shabbat. Kibud Shabbat (respecting Shabbat) is everything to do with the preparations of Shabbat, including showering with warm water and changing one’s outfit to be able to distinguish between Yom Chol (regular day of the week) and Shabbat Kodesh. Oneg Shabbat is the actions one does on Shabbat itself to make it more special than other day of the week, like having festive Seudot (meals) and doing things that are more special in general.

SHABBAT SHALOM!
