# A person should set his table on Saturday night even if one only plans on eating a [[Kezayit]] so as to respect the exiting of [[Shabbat]]. <Ref> S”A 300:1 writes that a person should set his table for Malveh Malka on Saturday night. This is based on the Gemara [[Shabbat]] 119b. Tur 300:1 says that this is the proper way to escort the [[shabbat]] out just like we bring it in with proper respect. Mishna | # A person should set his table on Saturday night even if one only plans on eating a [[Kezayit]] so as to respect the exiting of [[Shabbat]]. <Ref> S”A 300:1 writes that a person should set his table for Malveh Malka on Saturday night. This is based on the Gemara [[Shabbat]] 119b. Tur 300:1 says that this is the proper way to escort the [[shabbat]] out just like we bring it in with proper respect. Mishna Brurah 300:1 explains that although it is important, [[melava malka]] is not quite as important as the three [[shabbat]] meals, meaning if you can't afford to eat [[melava malka]] unless you eliminate one of the [[shabbat]] meals you shouldn't do that. Mishna Brurah 300:2 explains that the reason is to give respect to the exiting of [[Shabbat]]. </ref> Even though many aren’t careful about it, a Yireh Shamayim (a G-d fearing person) should make an extra effort to keep it. <Ref> Aruch HaShulchan 300:3, Shemirat [[Shabbat]] KeHilchata 63:1. The midrash kohelet rabba 12:5 says that in the future, a person will be resurrected using a bone located in one’s spine. The Kaf Hachayim 300:1-2 says that this bone called the luz is fed only with food eaten at a melave malka. Mishna Brurah 300:2 quotes the taz saying the same thing but calls the bone the nisko. In Shaar Hatziyun 300:7, he explains that since this bone didn't get pleasure from adam's sin, this bone was spared the curse of death. </ref> | ||

# If one extended his [[Seudat Shelishit]] until it got dark, some say that one is exempt from having Melveh Malka, and some argue. <Ref> Eliyah Rabba 300:1 writes that he heard that if [[Seudat Shelishit]] until it got dark one is exempt from having Melveh Malka. However, Tehillat David 300, Kaf HaChaim 300:11 disagree with this. </ref> | # If one extended his [[Seudat Shelishit]] until it got dark, some say that one is exempt from having Melveh Malka, and some argue. <Ref> Eliyah Rabba 300:1 writes that he heard that if [[Seudat Shelishit]] until it got dark one is exempt from having Melveh Malka.

#One should try to eat bread for [[Melava Malka]], but if he cannot then cake is sufficient. If he cannot even eat cake he should at least have some fruits or vegetables. <ref> Mishna | #One should try to eat bread for [[Melava Malka]], but if he cannot then cake is sufficient. If he cannot even eat cake he should at least have some fruits or vegetables. <ref> Mishna Brurah 300:1. Yalkut Yosef ([[Shabbat]] vol 1, 300:1). The Gra in Biur Hagra 300:1 says that bread must be eaten at the seuda. In Maaseh Rav 150 it says that the Gra was extremely strict about this halacha. It tells a story about when Rav Chaim Volozhin came to visit him and hadn't ate [[melava malka]] because he wasn't feeling well and the Gra told him to eat. Rav Moshe Shternbuch in Teshuvot vihanhagot 2:166 explains that the reason the gra was so strict on this is because he felt it was something that was very neglected. </ref> | ||
