# 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>

#Some poskim allow eating meat leftovers on motzaei [[shabbat]] even during the [[nine days]] while some poskim say that it's prohibited. <ref> Shaare Teshuva 551:11 quotes the Birkei Yosef allowing one to eat leftover meat for melave malka but concludes himself that this is not the custom. See [http://www.dailyhalacha.com/m/halacha.aspx?id=950 Rabbi Mansour on Dailyhalacha.com] who quotes Rav Chayim Palachi in moed likol chai who says it is permissible and Chacham Bentzion Abba Shaul who says it is definitely preferable not to, especially if that is not that person's usual practice. Chelkat Yaakov 3:21 and Iggerot Moshe OC 4:21:4 both forbid it even for somebody who would usually eat it. [http://www.torah.org/advanced/weekly-halacha/5762/devarim.html Rabbi Daniel Neustadt on Torah.org] agrees. </ref>
