The proper way to escort out the [[Shabbat]] is to have a festive meal after it is over, just like it is welcomed in with the utmost respect.<ref>Rambam Hilchos Shabbos, 30:5</ref> Just like one would escort a King out of his city with honor, so too Shabbat.


#A person should set his table on Saturday night even if one only plans on eating a [[Kezayit]] so as to respect the exiting of [[Shabbat]]. <ref>S”A 300:1 writes that a person should set his table for Malveh Malka on Saturday night. This is based on the Gemara [[Shabbat]] 119b. Tur 300:1 says that this is the proper way to escort the [[shabbat]] out just like we bring it in with proper respect. Mishna Brurah 300:1 explains that although it is important, [[melava malka]] is not quite as important as the three [[shabbat]] meals, meaning if you can't afford to eat [[melava malka]] unless you eliminate one of the [[shabbat]] meals you shouldn't do that. Mishna Brurah 300:2 explains that the reason is to give respect to the exiting of [[Shabbat]]. </ref> Even though many aren’t careful about it, a Yireh Shamayim (a G-d fearing person) should make an extra effort to keep it. <ref>Aruch HaShulchan 300:3, Shemirat [[Shabbat]] KeHilchata 63:1. The midrash kohelet rabba 12:5 says that in the future, a person will be resurrected using a bone located in one’s spine. The Kaf Hachayim 300:1-2 says that this bone called the luz is fed only with food eaten at a melave malka. Mishna Brurah 300:2 quotes the taz saying the same thing but calls the bone the nisko. In Shaar Hatziyun 300:7, he explains that since this bone didn't get pleasure from adam's sin, this bone was spared the curse of death. </ref>

#Some poskim allow eating meat leftovers on motzaei [[shabbat]] even during the [[nine days]] while some poskim say that it's prohibited. <ref>Shaare Teshuva 551:11 quotes the Birkei Yosef allowing one to eat leftover meat for melave malka but concludes himself that this is not the custom. See [http://www.dailyhalacha.com/m/halacha.aspx?id=950 Rabbi Mansour on Dailyhalacha.com] who quotes Rav Chayim Palachi in moed likol chai who says it is permissible and Chacham Bentzion Abba Shaul who says it is definitely preferable not to, especially if that is not that person's usual practice. Chelkat Yaakov 3:21 and Iggerot Moshe OC 4:21:4 both forbid it even for somebody who would usually eat it. [http://www.torah.org/advanced/weekly-halacha/5762/devarim.html Rabbi Daniel Neustadt on Torah.org] agrees. </ref>
##It is a debate in the poskim whether it is actually obligatory or not.<ref>See Rav Simcha Bunim Cohen (Radiance of Shabbos pg 231 ft. 2) who cites this debate. The Magen Avraham (274:2) says that it isn't a "חובה כל כך" (not so obligatory), and the Alter Rebbe (300:3) says that it is merely מצוה מן המובחר (i.e. a good thing to do). However, the Chaye Adam (hilchot shabbat 8:36) calls it a "חוב גמור" (a full-fledged obligation).</ref>

Melava malka.jpg

The proper way to escort out the Shabbat is to have a festive meal after it is over, just like it is welcomed in with the utmost respect.[1] Just like one would escort a King out of his city with honor, so too Shabbat.

General Halachot

  1. A person should set his table on Saturday night even if one only plans on eating a Kezayit in order to honor the completion of Shabbat.[2]
    1. Even though many aren’t careful about it, a Yireh Shamayim (a G-d fearing person) should make an extra effort to keep it.[3]
    2. It is a debate in the poskim whether it is actually obligatory or not.[4]
  2. At the end of Birkat HaMazon for melaveh malka, some authorities hold that one should say say "migdol yishuot malko" like on Shabbat itself, instead of "magdil yishuot,"[5] while others say that one should say the regular "magdil yishuot" on melaveh malka just like during the week.[6]
  3. Some poskim allow eating meat leftovers on motzaei Shabbat even during the nine days while some poskim say that it's prohibited. See Nine_Days#Shabbat_and_Leftovers for the sources.

Who is Obligated?

  1. Many say that women are also obligated to eat melaveh malka.[7]
  2. Kaf HaChaim quotes poskim who write that women should have melaveh malka in order to sustain the Luz bone.[8] He also quotes in the name of Reb Elimelech that the seudah of motzei Shabbos is a segulah (good sign) for women to have easy childbirth.[9]

When to Eat?

  1. Melaveh malka should be fulfilled as soon as possible after Shabbat.[10]
    1. If one isn’t hungry, one may have it later, but shouldn’t do an established activity before having it.[11]
    2. However, certainly one shouldn’t delay it past Chatzot of the night. However, if one did delay past Chatzot one may still fulfill it until Alot HaShachar.[12]
  2. If one extended his Seudat Shelishit until it got dark, some say that one is exempt from having melaveh malka, and others argue.[13]
  3. There’s no obligation for having melaveh malka on Motzei Yom Tov.[14]

What Should One Eat?

  1. One should try to eat bread for melaveh malka,[15] but if one cannot, then cake is sufficient. If one cannot even eat cake, one should at least have some fruits.[16]
  2. One should wear nice Shabbat clothes during this meal.[17]
  3. Some have the custom to light candles and sing special zemirot on motzei Shabbat after Havdalah.[18]
  4. One should spread a tablecloth on the table and set the table nicely.[19]
  5. It is beneficial to consume hot food and drink, and wash with hot water, as these provide refuot (health benefits).[20]
