KOL HASHONEH HALACHOT BECHOL YOM MUVTACH LO SHEHOO BEN HAOLAM HABA


For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L. Lehavdeel For the Refua Shlema of Chai Yaakov ben Margalit shlit’a.
Translated from Mekor Chaim Kitzur Shulchan Aruch:

1. One is not allowed to set up for him/herself a meal on Erev Shabbat (Friday in itsd entirety) that he/she is not used to having during the week, even if it’s a meal for an engagement. Lichvod Shabbat (for the respect of Shabbat), one should walk into the meals with an appetite. One is allowed to eat a small amount of food or drink a beverage without the declaration of eating a meal (Kviyat Seuda) throughout the entire day of Erev Shabbat (Friday). However, it is a Mitzvah to avoid having these small meals from 9.5 Sha’ot Zmaniyot (Jewish Hours) after Sunrise (which is around 12:40pm EST).

2. However, if someone is invited to a Seudat Mitzvah on Erev Shabbat (a festive Mitzvah meal, like Pidyon Ha’Ben or Brit Milah on Fridat), then they are allowed to feast and enjoy the accomplishment of the Mitzvah. At the same time, it is suggested and recommended to make this meal as early as possible on Friday morning.

SHABBAT SHALOM!
