Reply To: Milchig Meal on Shavuos

Little – “There can always be exceptions, and Erev Pesach is one example. Shabbos Teshuvah drosho is another”

Well, the Shabbos Teshuva Drosha going past shekiya is a situation that can be avoided – I wouldn’t call it unavoidable, as erev pessach when one CANNOT eat a seudah.

If the Gabbay (and all the mispalalim who are surely looking at their watch) interrupt the rov and tell him to continue during Seudah Shlishis. They would do so if they haven’t yet davened Mincha and shkiya is approaching!

If it is a true “chiyuv” to eat a seuda, this would call for a hefsek in the drasha – unless, they can l’chol hadayos be yotzeh with divrei Torah (and be somech on the M.A. per Zohar for that shabbos)

Coming from Yekkas, many family members davka do NOT wash for seuda shlishis as is their tradition – so it is not exclusive a Chabad minhag. (IN fact, the Rav S.A> says not to rely on other opinions and one MUST wasj for seuda shlishis – so I don’t know how Chabad changed that).
