Passage is permitted to take off the shell by hand while the nut remains inside it (even in part), and this act does not constitute "removing waste from food," nevertheless, after the shell has been taken off and a fragment of it rests among pieces of nut or whole nuts, taking away the shell would violate Shabbat as "removing waste from food." Rather, one ought to lift the nut from among the shells and avoid touching the shells altogether. Even were the shells resting apart with no nuts mingled among them, handling them would desecrate a major prohibition on account of muktzah, as is commonly known. Care regarding all the foregoing is hard [and thus it is preferable to refrain from eating unshelled nuts altogether]. true Passage The prohibition of cooking on Shabbat does not govern the reheating of dry food; nevertheless, should a portion of it dissolve, that portion may cook once more, inasmuch as food that has dissolved can cook again in heat "from which the hand recoils." Therefore, one must take great pains not to warm roasted or cooked meat or poultry, should the juices that issue from them grow so hot that the hand recoils from them. Such an act would amount to a definite Shabbat transgression, G-d forbid. One must likewise take pains not to pour hot water from which the hand recoils—drawn from the vessel wherein it was heated (keli rishon)—onto sugar. That act would be deemed cooking, inasmuch as the sugar dissolves. On that same ground, one must not treat present-day salt leniently, though it is already cooked; for inasmuch as it later dissolves, one cannot treat it more leniently than salt of old [which was not pre-cooked]. According to certain views in the Code of Jewish Law, placing salt in a hot liquid already poured into a second vessel (keli sheini) is forbidden; accordingly, upon the one who is stringent—may blessings come upon him. true heading PREPARING FOR SHABBAT Passage 1. On Friday one ought to rise early in order to prepare for Shabbat. Even a person of standing who has abundant household help should see that he personally take part in the Shabbat preparations. Our greatest sages did not deem it beneath them to perform some humble task in honor of the cherished and honored Shabbat. true Passage 2. The dwelling should be swept clean and the table arranged in honor of Shabbat. A tablecloth should cover the table throughout the duration of Shabbat. true Passage 3. One ought to eat sparingly on Friday, so as to enter the Shabbat with a keen appetite. true Passage 4. On Friday, one ought to bathe in warm water in honor of the Shabbat. Should this prove impossible, at least the head, face, hands, and feet are to be washed. (Among some men the practice is to immerse in a mikveh before Shabbat.) One should then put on festive garments set aside for Shabbat. One should likewise take a haircut if needed (save when it is Rosh Chodesh), and trim one's nails. (The Talmud teaches that pairings of the nails are to be buried, or preferably burnt.) true Passage 5. Customarily, special bread is baked in honor of Shabbat. The quantity should be such as requires "challah" to be set aside, so that the mitzvah of challah may be fulfilled (consult page 87 for the blessing). true Passage 6. Ahead of sunset, the head of the household should ask whether challah has been separated, and prompt the women to light the Shabbat candles at the proper hour. He should likewise prompt the entire household to cease their weekday labors. He ought to speak in a gentle manner, that his words may be heeded. He should not prompt them too soon, lest the reminder go unheeded. true
