Question
Hello, I saw that there is a segula from the Ramban to recite ten verses from the Torah on Saturday night. Why these specific verses? What else can be said or done at Melave Malka?
Answer
Hello,
The ten verses brought by the Chida in the name of the Ramban are a general segula for success and are not specifically intended for Saturday night.
However, since it is mentioned in the poskim that on Saturday night signs for success are made because it is the beginning of the week and a time with good segulot, some have the custom to recite the Ramban's segula.
The laws of the Melave Malka meal are brought in the poskim and mentioned in the Shulchan Aruch and Mishnah Berurah, Siman 300.
In the Rema, Siman 295, it is written to mention the prophet Elijah on Saturday night.
