The three Shabbat meals One must enjoy three meals on Shabbat; for the whole faith, the entirety of faith, is present in it. One must set the table, eat the three meals of faith, and enjoy them.
Rabbi Shimon said, I am my own witness before all that are present here that I have never eschewed these three meals. For their sake I never had to fast on Shabbat. Even on other weekdays, I did not have to fast, not to mention on Shabbat. Whoever attains them is worthy of the whole faith. They are, one the Queen’s meal, that is, on Shabbat eve, as Malchut reigns at night; one is the meal of the holy King, Zeir Anpin, that is the Mincha meal when Zeir Anpin ascends to Atika Kadisha; and one is the meal of the most concealed Atika Kadisha, at the morning meal, when Atika Kadisha shines through the highest Aba and Ima, and Zeir Anpin receives the illumination of Atika Kadisha from the highest Aba and Ima. But during Mincha on Shabbat, Zeir Anpin himself ascends to Atika Kadisha and receives its illumination. Hence the meal is named after Zeir Anpin, while breakfast after Atika Kadisha. In that world, one will attain these levels. When this will that is in the forehead appears, all judgments in their chains are subdued.
