Shabbat Morning
In the morning, one once again takes his children to pray in the synagogue along with the congregation. Our Sages say that prayers said in public (i.e. with a congregation] are better heard than prayers recited alone.
In the synagogue one also hears the weekly reading (parsha) as it is read from a Torah scroll.
Those women and children who cannot attend synagogue may pray or recite Tehillim at home at a leisurely pace.
After the prayer service, one returns home in order to partake of the second Shabbat meal. It is a mitzvah to eat three meals on Shabbat, one at night, one during the day, after the prayer service, and one in the afternoon.
“Rabi Shimon ben{the son of) Pazai said: ‘Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said in the name of Bar Kapra.: ‘Whoever eats three meals on Shabbos is spared from three forms a catastrophe: a)the pangs of Mashiach b)the sentence of Geihinnom c) the war of Gog u’Magog (Tractate Shabbos, 118b).
