# From the ikar halacha, one doesn't have to add 18 minutes to Shabbat, however the minhag is to add 18 minutes to Shabbat. <ref> Mishna Brurah 261 writes that one should be concerned for the opinion of the Yereyim that Shabbat starts 3/4 of a mil before sunset. However, Rav Ovadyah Yosef in Sh"t Yabea Omer writes that according to halacha one isn't obligated to be strict for the opinion of the Yereyim, rather the addition to shabbat of 18 minutes is only a minhag. </ref>

* How long is Tosefet Shabbat? Rosh Brachot 4:6 and Tosfot Brachot 27a D”H DeRav agree that one doesn’t have to accept Shabbat from Plag Mincha (from ten and three quarter hours). Nonetheless, the Rosh 4:6 writes that certainly there is a minimum time limit but leaves it unclear as to what the limit is. Rabbenu Yonah (Brachot 18b D”H Rav) quotes Rabbi Yacov who says that there’s no minimum time and any amount suffices.
