Question
Hello, Regarding Shabbat meals, it is known that for the three meals one must break bread and have two loaves. It is also known that there is no joy without meat and wine. Additionally, it is known that there is a virtue in eating fish on Shabbat. Given all this, if one's wife prefers to have only a light breakfast with bread and cheeses in the morning and thus enjoys Shabbat more, should this be allowed?
Answer
Hello
There is no prohibition in this, as there is no obligation to eat meat and fish at every meal.
However, on the other hand, there is a mitzvah to have a meal with meat on Shabbat, etc.
Therefore, if desired, one can have a lighter breakfast in the morning [with Kiddush and two loaves], and later in the day have a proper Shabbat meal.
