My 5 year old sister had great question. Why do we say “good shabbos” to people?
I dont understand your questoin… do you say “good morning?” whats the difference?
To be polite and to tell someone to have a good Shabbos…Not so hard…
It is a valid question. And the answer is it’s an extension of Kovod Shabbos. We change our clothing, speech and greeting.
It might have to do with “zocher as yom hashabbos” by mentioning it we show how we remember it.
I second ZeesKite: it’s a nice way of greeting people with deference to Shabbos. Plus, you can even say “Good Shabbos” to people you don’t know – what a way to bring achdus to Klal Yisroel! (Unless, of course, you’re from Borough Park – then it’s just a way of broadcasting that you are a nut.)
One is supposed to greet people they meet. During the week it should be with a good morning/afternoon, etc. On Shabbos we replace it and say “Good Shabbos”.

I like that here we say “Shabbat Shalom.” Shalom is one of the names of HKB”H, and I think it’s nice to combine them together, almost like giving a bracha with each greeting.

A little lighter on the tone, please. One doesn’t want to start the week defaming a rabim.
ZeesKite: It was intended 100% humorously. BPers are cool by me. 🙂
I guess you got your answer. Tell her you saw it in the CR b’shem the mishna berurah. .
