There is a mitzvah to eat three meals of bread on Shabbat. At the Friday night and the first meal on Shabbat day, [[Kiddush]] is recited. The laws that relate specifically to the third meal of Shabbat are on the [[Seudat Shelishit]] page. Additionally, in order to escort out Shabbat there is a fourth meal at the conclusion of Shabbat, called [[Malava Malka]]. | |||

# There are multiple reasons for covering the challah. <ref> Tosafot in Pesachim 100b says that because the manna fell between layers of dew that preserved it we cover the challah above and below. Rosh Pesachim 10:3 as well as the Tur 271 quote the Yerushalmi saying that since wheat is written first in the pasuk with the seven species and the beracha on it should be recited first, we don't want to embarrass the challah by saying the beracha on the wine first, so therefore we cover it. </ref> | # There are multiple reasons for covering the challah. <ref> Tosafot in Pesachim 100b says that because the manna fell between layers of dew that preserved it we cover the challah above and below.
