Eating Before shabbat

Asked by Tammi · August 23, 2002 · Shabbat

Question

Is there some Halacha that you can't eat a meal after a certain time erev Shabbat? What exactly is a meal? What about a small sandwich or some pasta?

You can use your judgement. The key is that you need to eat the Shabbat meal with a full appetite. Some people can eat with a full appetite an hour after another meal, and others have the opposite extreme. Use your judgement. AA Sorry for the delay. I lost it in the shuffle & had to review many pages of my father's responses to find it.
