Question
If someone did not bathe on the eve of Shabbat, is there a reason to bathe on Shabbat itself? There is a rumor in the name of the Vilna Gaon that the honor of Shabbat pertains only to the eve of Shabbat, and only delight pertains to Shabbat itself. Is this true?
Answer
On Shabbat itself, there is no need to bathe.
