KOL HASHONEH HALACHOT BECHOL YOM MUVTACH LO SHEH'HOO BEN HA'OLAM 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 Yalkut Yosef Kitzur Shulchan Aruch:

1. It is a Mitzvah to bathe one’s full body and shampoo their hair on Erev Shabbat (Friday afternoon) with hot water Lichvod Shabbat (to respect the Shabbat). If one somehow cannot bathe their entire body they should at least wash their face and hands with hot water. One should even shorten their Limud Torah for bathing Lichovd Shabbat. If one has the opportunity to dip in the Mikevh before Shabbat they should do that as well. One should not bathe near the time of Candle Lighting not to have the shower conflict with any Halachot of Shabbat.

2. If one’s head is filled with long hair it is a Mitzvah to get a haircut Lichvod Shabbat on Erev Shabbat (Friday). If one cannot do it on Friday they should go to the barbershop on Thursday. It is also a Mitzvah to cut one’s long fingernails on Erev Shabbat. One may not throw away their nails on the ground, rather flush them down the toilet or near a place where women are not present (because the saying that pregnant women who step on nails harm their baby is true).

SHABBAT SHALOM!
