THE BAIS HAVAAD HALACHA JOURNAL: Volume 5776 Issue XVI Beshalach SLEEPING LATE ON SHABBOS Until when is the latest time you may sleep on Shabbos? By Rabbi Baruch Fried

Parsha connection "And Moshe said: Eat it today! For today is a Sabbath to Hashem. Today you will not find it in the field." [Shemos 16:25] The Gemara in Shabbos [117 B] sources the obligation of eating the three Shabbos meals on the thrice repeated "today" in this verse. Moreover, the Shulchan Aruch [O"C 188] cites the Yerushalmi that not only is fasting for the entire Shabbos day prohibited, one may not even fast till Chatzos. Rema adds that even if one is davening or learning he must not push off eating past Chatzos. How late can you sleep?
