Reply To: Aura of Shabbos

Look in Shemiras Shabbos K’Chilchasa 46:5. Very interesting psak.

However, according to Eretz Tzvi 60; Mishmeres Shalom 26:2 quoting the Minsker Gadol; Minchas Yitzchak 9:20; Tzitz Eliezer 13:42; Bris Olam, pg. 13, you are right. Several poskim hold that an individual’s kabbalas tosefes Shabbos does not preclude his davening Minchah later.

Wolf: Teshuvos v’Hanhagos (3:83) allows davening Mincha after accepting Tosefes Isur Melachah, but not after accepting Kedushas Shabbos.

Having said that: According to the opinion of the Mishnah Berurah and many other poskim, once Shabbos has been ushered in (by any expression of kabbalos Shabbos), the weekday Minchah service may no longer be recited (see Mishnah Berurah 263:43). Ha’Gaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky, Shlita, forbids Minchah after any acceptance of Shabbos [Ishei Yisrael 36(20)]. [When I saw this, I was concerned, because I have a great deal of respect for Rabbi Kanievsky and his rulings, and find many of them to be extremely interesting.]

“rather when one just wants stam to be Mikabel Shabbos early like 30 minutes that you can be mekabel the Issur Melocha and not the Kedusha”

There is no need to stam be mekabel Shabbos 30 minutes early, although it is praiseworthy to do so.
