#A person should set his table on Saturday night even if one only plans on eating a [[Kezayit]] in order to honor the completion of [[Shabbat]].<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 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> | #A person should set his table on Saturday night even if one only plans on eating a [[Kezayit]] in order to honor the completion of [[Shabbat]].<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 300:1 writes that a person should set his table for Malveh Malka on Saturday night.
