Question

When should one eat the third meal when the holiday falls on Sunday?

Answer

It is a mitzvah to begin the third meal before the tenth hour. For the upcoming Shabbat in Bnei Brak, this is at 16:08. [There are calendars that also indicate this time, which varies according to the date and location]. However, if one did not manage to eat before the tenth hour, one may eat after the tenth hour. According to the basic law, it suffices to eat less than the usual meal portion, which is the amount one typically eats on a regular day. However, if eating after the tenth hour, it is preferable to eat slightly more than the size of an egg of bread.
