Seudah shlishit (Hebrew: סעודה שלישית, romanized: səʿuḏah šəlišiṯ third meal) or shaleshudes (Yiddish, an elided form of Hebrew: שָׁלֹשׁ סְעֻדוֹת, romanized: šāloš sǝʿuḏot, lit. 'three meals') is the third meal customarily eaten by Sabbath-observing Jews on each Shabbat. Both names refer to the third of the three meals a Jew is obligated to eat on Shabbat according to the Talmud.[1]
The practice of eating three meals is homiletically attached to Ex. 16:25, in which the word for day, hayom, appears three times with reference to the manna that fell in a double portion on Friday.
