# 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, Yalkut Yosef 242:8 </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.

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 and Chut Hashani 3:1 adds that this is true even if it is done by a non-jew it shouldn't be done on Friday. Ben Ish Chai Parashat Lech Lecha Halacha 8 says if one didn't have a chance for whatever reason to do laundry prior to friday they can certainly be lenient. </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, Yalkut Yosef 242:8 </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.

# One should check one's clothing on Friday to make sure that there's not a needle left stuck in them or something in the pockets so that one doesn't come to carry on [[Shabbat]] and even if there's an eiruv one should still check to make sure that there's nothing [[Muktzeh]] in the clothes. <ref>The Briatta in Gemara [[Shabbat]] 12a states that one should check one's clothing on Friday. Rashi explains that one should check to make sure there aren't things attached to the clothing so that one doesn't come to carry on [[Shabbat]]. Shulchan Aruch 252:7 codifies this as halacha. Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 72:23 adds that even if there's an eiruv one should check to make sure that there's nothing [[Muktzeh]] in the clothes. </ref> | # One should check one's clothing on Friday to make sure that there's not a needle left stuck in them or something in the pockets so that one doesn't come to carry on [[Shabbat]] and even if there's an eiruv one should still check to make sure that there's nothing [[Muktzeh]] in the clothes. <ref>The Briatta in Gemara [[Shabbat]] 12a states that one should check one's clothing on Friday.

# Anticipating the arrival of [[Shabbat]] each week is actually a biblical obligation. One should even refer to Friday in connection with [[Shabbat]]. For example, it is better to say “I am going to get a haircut on Erev [[Shabbat]]” instead of “I am going to get a haircut on Friday.” This is consistent with the custom of opening the "Psalm of the Day" each morning in reference to [[Shabbat]]. For example, Sunday’s song begins with: “Today is the first day in the [[Shabbat]] [week].” <ref>[http://www.eichlers.com/Product/Books/Halachah_-_Jewish_Law/General_Issues/Amot-Shel-Halacha---Halachic-Insights---The-Dalet-Amot-Halacha-Series:-1-_H028-3.html Amot Shel Halacha] (by Rabbi Ari Enkin)</ref> | # Anticipating the arrival of [[Shabbat]] each week is actually a biblical obligation.
