Question
Hello, I live in Finland, and in the summer, the start of Shabbat and even Plag HaMincha is very early, and I am already elderly and unable to stay awake. What should I do?
Answer
On Shabbat day, eat three meals and divide the long day so that each meal is with appetite. Of course, you can reduce the meals if necessary so that you can eat three meals. Before the first meal, make Kiddush for Friday night.
