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. It is correct to clean the home before Shabbat with a broom, mop, etc. Lichvod Shabbat (for the respect of Shabbat). It is correct and recommended also to cover tables with special tablecloths from the hours before Shabbat until after Havdalah (set of Berachot said to escort the Shabbat out of the world during Motzei Shabbat).

2. From the time of Ezrah (Bayit Sheni, around 400 BCE) there was a Takanah (set law) that all of Israel would do laundry on Thursday for Kevod HaShabbat (for the respect of Shabbat). It is absolutely allowed to launder clothing throughout the entire week, however it is recommended to begin from Wednesday on in order to respect the Shabbat. It is correct, however, to avoid doing laundry on Erev Shabbat (Friday afternoon) in order to focus on the preparations for Shabbat. For those who are lenient to do laundry in a machine can be lenient and launder clothing during Erev Shabbat.

SHABBAT SHALOM!
