A Pshat in the Parshas Haman: The Rama at the end of Siman
242 which is at the beginning of Hilchos Shabbos writes, there is a Minhag to
eat a type of food that has a layer on top and on bottom to have a reminder of
the Man which had a layer on the top and on the bottom of Tal. This is where
the Minhag of eating Potato Kugel comes from. Potato Kugel has a layer on top
and on bottom. This is a Zeicher to the Man. The one day of the week that Man
did not fall on is Shabbos. Shouldn’t the Minhag of eating Kugel be the other 6
days and not on Shabbos? The Biyur Halacha actually brings this Kasha from
Kadmoinim in Siman 242.
Toisafois answers that it is a Zecher that Man did not fall
on Shabbos. The Toras Chaim offers another answer that we don’t have a Zecher
to the Man of the past in the Midbar we are doing it as a reminder of the Man
we will eat in the times of Mashiach when we will be Zoiche to a number of
foods that are mentioned. K’negged the Livyasoin we eat fish on Shabbos.
K’negged Shor Habor we eat meat on Shabbos. K’negged the Yayin from the
Sheishes Y’mei B’reishis we drink Yayin on Shabbos. K’negged the Man that we
will eat when Mashiach comes, we eat Pas(h)tida (something that has a layer on top
and on bottom like Potato Kugel.)
There is actually a Nafka Mina between the 2. The Man fell 6
days a week. So the Friday night Seuda is a time that we had Man already in the
normal way from Friday morning. So it is only a Chiddush on Shabbos day that no
Man fell. According to the first Teretz that we said that we eat Kugel
L’zeicher that Man did not fall, we should actually eat the Kugel Dafka by day
and not Leil Shabbos. According to the second reason that Shabbos is a Mei’ein
Yoim She’kuloi Shabbos which starts Friday night, you can eat Kugel on Friday
night as well. Yisrael Kedoishim eat Kugel Friday night and Shabbos day. This
would be a Nafka Mina between the 2 reasons
brought here.
