Shabbat Afternoon - Mincha and Third Seuda

One should take advantage of  the special sanctity of Shabbat afternoons in order to study Torah, recite Tehillim and learn Torah with his children, listening to them and instilling them with Jewish values. One should explain the importance of refraining from slander and evil speech,  performing acts of kindness and developing good character traits. Shabbat afternoon is also a suitable time to study the laws of the day from a halachic work.

Our sages have said (Talmud Yerushalmi and the Midrash: “Sabbaths and festivals were given to the Jews only so that that they should engage in Torah on them. During the week, they are occupied with their work and don’t have time to engage in Torah study with the fitting commitment. On Shabbat, though, they are free from work and thus able to dedicate themselves to Torah properly.”

On this sacred day, everyone can rise spiritually by observing Shabbat and upholding its sanctity.

Mincha and the Third Seuda

One eats a third meal either before or after the Mincha prayer. 

It is preferable to make a ha’motzi blessing over two challos before starting the meal, as we do at the other Shabbat meals. But if one finds that difficult, he may eat cake instead, and if that too is difficult, he may eat fruit.

One takes his children to the synagogue for the Mincha prayer, and hears the Torah reading for the afternoon.
