On a usual day, we eat two meals: lunch and dinner. On Shabbat, we eat a third meal – ‘Seudah Shlishit’. By preparing for this third meal, we honor Shabbat.

The Jewish people have an incredible spiritual and musical heritage. One of the most meaningful parts of the Shabbat meal is when we sing Shabbat songs.

As Shabbat approaches, we create a place for the additional neshamah by discarding much of the weekday matter we have accumulated.

“ We ask that we should truly feel that we lack nothing and that the world and ourselves are complete on Shabbat.”
