Is the Melaveh Malkah seudah a full obligation equivalent to the three Shabbat meals, or merely a mitzvah?
Synopsis
The Mishnah Berurah explicitly rules that Melaveh Malkah is not a full obligation like the three Shabbat meals (which have Scriptural support), but rather an ordinary mitzvah. This distinction has practical consequences when one cannot fulfill all meals.
