LEARNING ON SHABBOS

Seif 1 (Contd.)

After resting on Shabbos, one should go and learn Torah. The Medrish says that Shabbos was given so people would have a day free of work in order for them to learn. The Bais Yosef in Simon 288 brings a Yerushalmi that quotes contradictory Braisos depicting both Shabbos as being given (1) to eat and drink or (2) to learn. The Yerushalmi answers that those who are busy during the week working and do not have the time to learn, Shabbos was given to them to learn. To Talmidai Chachumim, who toil the whole week in Torah, Shabbos was given for them to enjoy the physical pleasures.

EATING FRUITS ON SHABBOS

Seif 1

One should eat fruits and desserts on Shabbos in order to make extra Brachos to complete the hundred Brachos that a person should say daily. This is because we are missing several Brachos that we would normally say on weekdays since there are less Brachos in the Shabbos Shemona Esrai.

IF THERE IS NO WINE, BUT SOME IS EXPECTED LATER

Seif 2 (Contd.)

If there is no wine now, but some wine is expected later, the Magen Avraham says to wait until midnight (Chatzos) since it may come by then. The Chaya Adam says if the person is physically weak, he does not need to wait. But there is no need to wait until the next morning to make Kiddush until noon (Chatzos) , therefore the Brocha Hamoitzie can be made right away. One may rely on the Raavad who says a person can eat before the daytime Kiddush.
