# However, the above is about someone who has enough money that he doesn’t need to take Tzedaka, however, someone who needs to take Tzedaka, he should get the appropriate amount to respect Shabbat properly. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 242:1 </ref>

# It’s Kavod Shabbat to do one’s laundry from Thursday prior to Shabbat so that one’s clothes are clean and fresh for Shabbat. <Ref> S”A 242:1, Mishna Brurah 242:5 </ref> Laundry should be done before Friday so that one has time to prepare for Shabbat. <Ref> S”A 242:1 writes that laundry should be done on Thursday. Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata (42 note 13) writes in name of Rav Shlomo Zalman that one may do laundry earlier in the week. Additionally, Mishna Brurah 242:5 explains that it should be done on Friday so that one has time to prepare for Shabbat. However, Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata (42 note 13) suggests that perhaps nowadays that it’s easy and quick to do laundry it’s permitted to do it on Friday. So holds Yalkut Yosef (Shabbat vol 1 pg 13), and Piskei Teshuvot 242:3 writes that such is the Minhag. However, Rav Menashe Klein (author of Mishneh Halachot) in back of Piskei Teshuvot vol 3 writes that nowadays one should still do it on Thursday and not Friday. </ref>

==Oneg Shabbat (Enjoying Shabbat)==
# There are two expressions of how to observe Shabbat in the Torah, שמור and זכור which the prophets explained as a mitzvah of כבוד (respect) and עונג (enjoyment) of Shabbat. <ref> This is the language of the Rambam (Shabbat 30:1) which implies that the mitzvah of Oneg is Derabbanan. The Mishna Brurah 242:1 writes that the Ramban holds that this mitzvah is Deoritta while the Sefer HaChinuch holds that it's Deoritta. See Sh"t Yabea Omer 4:26(2) who proves that there is no mitzvah of Simcha by Shabbat like there is by Yom Tov. </ref>
# What is Oneg? There is a mitzvah to prepare tasty and special food for Shabbat each one according to their wealth. Eating the three meals of Shabbat, having meat and wine, and sleeping on Shabbat are all a fulfillment of Oneg Shabbat. <ref> Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata (Intro to new edition 2:10) based on Rambam (Shabbat 30:7,9,10)</ref>
# It is forbidden to fast on Shabbat unless one enjoys fasting. <ref> S"A 288:1, Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata (Intro to new edition, chap 2 note 42). Biur Halacha D"H Asur, Sh"T Yabea Omer 4:26 </ref>
