# 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. 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 Berura 300:2 quotes the taz saying the same thing but calls the bone the nisko. In Shaar Hatziyun 300:7 he writes that since this bone didn't get pleasure from adam's sin, this bone was spared the curse of death. </ref>
