# 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> | # 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 Berurah 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), Chazon Ovadia Shabbat volume 1 page 24, Rav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv quoted in Avnei Yashfei 1:49, Or Litzion 2:16:1, Shevet Hakehati 2:104:4 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 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 Berurah 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.

# One should try to have nice clothing and a special tallit out of respect for Shabbat. This is true even if one is alone or with non-Jews. <ref> Kitzur S"A 72:16 from gemara Shabbat 113a which explains the verse in Yishaya 58:13 as saying that one should wear nice clothes different from the weekdays clothing. </ref> | |||

# 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 only Derabbanan. 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> | # 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.
