B"H Did you know there’s a halacha about Friday meals before Shabbat? The goal is to avoid heavy meals too close to Shabbat so we can come to the Shabbat table with appetite and excitement. Instead, the Mishnah Berurah recommends tasting the Shabbat foods earlier in the day and that way enhancing both our anticipation and awareness of the Shabbat experience.
