The principal sanctification of [[Shabbat]] is consummated with the recitation of the "Vayechulu" passage. Based on mystical considerations, the Vayechulu passage is to be recited no less than three times<ref>Kaf Hachaim 268:33</ref> on Friday night. It is recited twice within the course of the Maariv prayer and the again at home as part of the Kiddush.<ref>[[Shabbat]] 119b, Rambam [[Shabbat]] 29:7</ref> We are taught that one who says Vayechulu on Friday night is considered to be a partner with God in creation.<ref>[[Shabbat]] 119b, See Likutei Maharan II:8</ref> So too, it is in merit of the recitation of Vayechulu that one is provided with the two escorting angels<ref>[[Shabbat]] 119b</ref> and additionally all of one's sins are forgiven.<ref>[[Shabbat]] 119b. The Abudraham suggests that the word ‘asher’ which appears three times in the Vayechulu also appears three times in the portion of the red heifer thereby connecting the two, with the Red Heifer being the ultimate source of purity and forgiveness from sin. </ref>
