#5745 – New Faces for the New Extra Meal?
More “Panim Chadashos” I have also heard that one does not need “Panim Chadashos” for Shalosh Seudot on Shabbat is that correct?
The Remo (E.H. 62:8) rules that the minhag is to recite Sheva Brochos at the seuda shelishis. He debates if the reason for that tradition is that usually there are panim chadashot who show up or that there’s a drasha, which is like panim chadashot.
Chachmat Adam 129: 5 accepts the second theory of the Rema that as long as the Choson delivers a drasha at seuda shelishis that counts as the “Ponim Chadoshos”. Pischei Teshuvo (62: 16) quotes the Rema Mipano who holds that seuda shelishit is always considered as “Ponim Chadoshos”.
