Once one has accepted Shabbat, he must be careful not to do any melakha (as will be explained in the next section).<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, women customarily accept Shabbat when reciting the berakha over lighting Shabbat candles. Since they invoke Shabbat, they intend to accept it upon themselves, thus fulfilling the mitzva of tosefet Shabbat. According to most authorities, a woman may light candles conditionally, having in mind that she is not accepting Shabbat with the lighting. In such a case she may do melakha or drive to shul after lighting. Nevertheless, it is preferable that she accept Shabbat when she lights, since some maintain that one may not light conditionally, in which case once she lights Shabbat candles she has accepted Shabbat and may not do melakha. Furthermore, if she does not accept Shabbat when she lights candles, there is concern that she will forget tosefet Shabbat altogether (SA 263:10; SSK 43:24; Yalkut Yosef 263:44).<\/p>\n<p>At one time, men customarily accepted Shabbat during prayer with the recitation of \u201cBo\u2019i kalla, Shabbat ha-malka\u201d (\u201cEnter O bride, O Shabbat queen\u201d) in the liturgical poem Lekha Dodi. However, nowadays in many shuls they do not finish Lekha Dodi before shki\u2019a. Accordingly, in order to fulfill the mitzva of tosefet Shabbat, the gabbai should announce after Min\u0125a: \u201cBo\u2019i kalla, Shabbat ha-malka,\u201d at which point everyone should accept Shabbat. If the gabbai does not make this announcement, then each individual should say to himself \u201cBo\u2019i kalla, Shabbat ha-malka\u201d or \u201cHineni mekabel al atzmi kedushat Shabbat\u201d (\u201cI hereby accept upon myself the sanctity of Shabbat\u201d). Additionally, if one is afraid that the \u0125azan will not complete the repetition of the Min\u0125a Amida before shki\u2019a, he may whisper the declaration to himself during the repetition, to ensure that he not lose the opportunity to fulfill the mitzva of tosefet Shabbat.<sup><a href='#_ze05ftn3_4' id='_ze05ftnref3_4' class='aup1'>[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<div>\n<hr size=\"1\" \/>\n<div><a href='#_ze05ftnref3_4' id='_ze05ftn3_4'>[4]<\/a>. In a locale where there is only one synagogue, the congregation\u2019s acceptance of Shabbat obligates the entire community. However, in practice this does not come up often, because generally we do not accept Shabbat as a community very early, and if it is just a few minutes before shki\u2019a everyone is obligated to accept Shabbat anyway to fulfill the mitzva of tosefet Shabbat. Nevertheless, if the entire community accepted Shabbat, some say that this acceptance is more binding than an individual\u2019s acceptance, and in such a case even for a mitzva or great necessity one would still be prohibited from transgressing anything, even rabbinic prohibitions (MB 261:18, 28). Others maintain that anything permitted after an individual accepts Shabbat (as we explain below in ch. 4 n. 5) is also permitted after the community accepts Shabbat (quoted by BHL 261:4, s.v. \u201cein me\u2019arvin\u201d). See Har\u0125avot, which explains that in a case of great necessity one may rely on the lenient opinion. In any case, even after the community has accepted Shabbat, as well as during bein ha-shmashot, one may ask a non-Jew to do melakha on behalf of a Jew for the sake of a mitzva or a great need (SA 342:1; MB ad loc. 7; MB 261:18, 28).\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One can accept tosefet Shabbat verbally by saying \u201cI hereby accept upon myself the sanctity of Shabbat.\u201d Some maintain that one can even accept tosefet Shabbat mentally (MB 261:21).
