What should one do after the Shabbat morning meal — study or relax — and who bears a greater Torah-study obligation on Shabbat, scholars or laypeople?
Synopsis
The Mechaber requires a fixed Torah-study session after the morning meal. The Rema differentiates: laypeople must increase Torah study on Shabbat (since they cannot study during the week), while Torah scholars should indulge somewhat more in eating and drinking (since Torah is already their daily pleasure).
