Kavod and Oneg Shabbat: Difference between revisions

# According to some there’s a mitzvah Deoritta to remember [[Shabbat]] every day of the week. The minhag is to fulfill this requirement by counting the day of the week before Shir Shel Yom. <Ref> Rambam Shemot 20:8 writes that there’s a mitzvah Deoritta in counting every day of the week towards [[Shabbat]]. So rules Chaye Adam ([[Shabbat]] 1:1), Mekor Chaim 271:3, and Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 42:3 </ref>

# 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>
