Kedushas Shabbos Shiur with Rabbi Simcha Bunim Berger - Inyanim of Bigdei Shabbos

Okay, >> good evening and welcome back to Torah anytime. Here we are in our kadesh with another week in kadusha shabas discussion for tonight is big day shabas. How much how many clothing does a person have to change in order to be Honoring the Shabas. Is it Can I just put on a Shabas yamaka? Would that be enough? Or does it have to be a Shabas suit? How about Shabas shoes? If I don't have my Shabas suit and I just have Shabas shoes, will I be And for the more clothing you change, do you get a bigger mitzvah as well? Is that also part of the part of the mitzvah? Another question. If someone's sick at home and they can't make it to schol, is there any inion to dress cover shabas even though they're not feeling well and they're not going out anyway? Or someone gets stuck in a hotel, their flights are cancelled and who knows where they are, right? in in Hong Kong in you know ve verve they're they're in Mexico where and they're stuck they barely got some food together is there an Indian in their room to wear shabas clothing is there a mitzvah to do it this question as well as many other things is what we're discussing tonight so let's begin let's go as we always do to the source source is on page one olive. As always, there's a little gray area here that shows us right here at the bottom right here that tells us exactly where we begin. You should the says and your areas You're supposed to call you should be for doing your regular things which means even the of shabas the way one speaks and what a person speaks speaks about on Shabas should have and reflect Shabasa speech. We're focusing on the clothing says the four lines on the bottom. Your shabas clothing should not be like your weekday clothing. Says the My clothing mani means my clothing gave me honor. And indeed in I was yesterday in someone's office and a fellow came in for an interview. He was dressed with a nice suit, nice tie. We call it in Yiddish gapitz. >> Gapitz. He looked so put together. And the boss said, "Now that's the way you're supposed to come dressed for an interview. Your the clothes give honor to the person. My clothing give me honor." So that when you want to honor Shabas, you wear you wear clothing that could bring chabas. Moving along to page number two. Shami from Peric Zion. It's over there in the gray area says the a person has to have two shaws. A special shaw for and a special shaw for Shabas. my where do I know this from? Where's the source? It says by where's the over here some similar you should wash yourself and you should anoint you should do you you should um put on your clothing the she has to put on clothing was she not wearing any clothing. It's referring to the fact that she was told by Nomi to put on your shabas clothing when told over this [snorts] students began to cry. They said, "We don't have more than one. We don't have more than one set of clothing." The way we wrap ourselves, we're not being They were crying about the fact that they're not being the Shabas. What should we do? Shabas, you have to change your clothing from Shabas. What does that mean? Change your clothing say and we'll see it on the next page on page three in the turn to page three please will explain what he just what what meant to his students if he can't have other clothing He should lower them. What does that mean? Lower them. Perish sounds kind of strange. Perish. Sometimes like with robes, people would have wear their robes up a little bit. It shouldn't drag on the floor. But wealthy people would daffa have their clothing dragging like when a kala walks to the and she has a man. She has one of I forgot what it's I'm not sure what it's called. >> A what? >> Train. >> Train. That's right. My rabbitson is going to say how did you not know but anyway and it's dragging on the floor. That's malic to have clothing, right? What we would call like schleing. No, no, no, no. This is the cover chabas. That's the way wealthy people. So, the same shaw, the same pair of pants. However a person can change them shabas is for even though you don't have any other clothing but you're fulfilling the and the mitzvah of shabas because the of the way you're wearing it in the weekday is not the way you're wearing it on shabas you're wearing the same clothing but you're wearing it in a shabistic way that's more if you don't have a bra you don't have an then that's the way you the mitzvah That's what it says intel. We'll look at the in letter B over here on the same page. If you can, you should have a weekday talis and a shabas talis. Okay, a special talis. Next. Why? What's t of the reason? Well, it sounds like cover. Take a look at page next page which is four on top letter test. And this is a quote from the reillun. It says the following. Big day shabas. A person supposed to change big shabas. So he should remember that it's a holy day the and he's not allowed to do he's not allowed to do work. If a person according to the reill would wear the same clothing on Shabas and on the weekday it's possible and maybe even likely that he or she might forget that it's Shabas and as such they'll do something they'll they'll they'll do a as we'll soon see later on if they get up to Dav and they're all wearing their weekday clothing they might end up dabbing a weekday dabing. According to this, according to this opinion, the reason for changing clothing is because it's a safeguard. And if you look at number over here in the footnote, it sounds like it's one reason. What's the reason? So that you shouldn't forget that it's Shabas. It's a says also a by adding a letter which means that by adding the letter VV it sounds like there's two reasons. one is shabas and in addition so you shouldn't do and indeed if you look at page number five in the chuva of the the shilus of titzer he clearly brings down that it's two reasons plus he brings a bunch of stories let's see this we'll see some of this at length first of all if you look on page it's actually page nine over here where it's in the gray area so but the booklet is open in So you'll see it where the gray area is and start at the beginning of that paragraph like I mentioned to remember that it's a holy day. He's giving the reason why we switch clothing as we mentioned is it comes from so [snorts] it comes from the you shouldn't be wearing shabas your their dress of shabas shouldn't be like the weekday Shabas. as soon as Shabas starts. Because if you feel clearly like it says you'll see it and you'll remember it says two reasons according to the sidelar there's two reasons for why a person should wear begadim a shabistic begadim One is for to make sure you don't be shabas and the other one is to be shabas. So if we go back to our question when we started in the beginning of this evening which is is there a greater mitzvah to change more clothing? Is it enough to just put on a shabas suit? is that if you put already on a shabas suit, will you get more of a mitzvah when you put on also a shabas tie for example or putting on shabas shoes? The answer is depends what the reason is. If the reason is so it should be a remembrance you shouldn't be shabas probably one piece of clothing or suit is already enough to remind you but if however it's a reason of shabas the more you wear the more you're being as a matter of fact we'll soon see it brings down [snorts] on um page number 13 on the bum you can look for a second on page 13 it says big from his tippy from his to the whole thing. every for Shabas, shoes for Shabas, socks for Shabas, every piece like he said, right? There wasn't anything. He didn't change. Why? Because everything was Now, I want to share with you a couple of stories over here. Back to page five. It's not there's no gray area, but it's worthwhile looking. Watch what happens. You see where he says he says like this. He said in Italy they wouldn't wear their Shabas clothing on Shabas. They would only switch the clothing on Shabas in the morning when they came to show. They didn't even change a white shirt. Even when they looked not very nice. I want you to know Big daynos is an Indian about to explain to where Shabas calling on Shabas and he would say he brings out from the Gmorra of the different different tanoim who would wear special clothing and go out toward towards right that in the he said in they would be well known that they would wear their clothing special Shabas clothing going into Shabas. big shabas. So a person should be that wearing the shab shabas going from the beginning of shabas all the way to not shabas min switching into t-shirts or sneakers or something like that. It's still just as shabas kesh on shabas afternoon as it is on Friday night. If people knew how holy it is and how the zy talks about the kadusha if they would understand the kadusha of shabas especially when we say they never do this. Should make sure to wear big shabas. He says in the next paragraph it says what happens on Shabas is that the comes upon us and therefore it's befitting to sing the person should be wearing but mimus talks about how it's how important it is that a person should be bim when shabas comes in other words everything else is not important and I'm fixed with just being the shabas and then he goes on to say the following story of a group of people worked in the kadisha it's actually on page it's on the next page where they finished burying a person mamish with shabas so there was know if they were going to go home to switch their begodim they wouldn't make it back from minion. So in the in the moment they didn't change their clothing and they came to with their weekday clothing but they were [snorts] right says when they go home before you make kdesh get into shabas clothing now we learned a couple of weeks ago the sitting by kdish or standing by kdish. If you remember, we talked about the minute to stand even though the go and others said you should sit down because of but we said you're bringing the into your house. You're bringing the kadusha of shabas into your house. So even if you had an inus and you couldn't wear shabas clothing for the le shabas you couldn't but it doesn't mean that okay I'll put on shabas going tomorrow n you go home before you make should put on your big day shabas before you make kish so when you're saying that you your rabbitson your kinderlock when they come to the shabas tish dressed in big day shabas. It's a cover for shabas. But of course, you don't want to do this with and forcing them. You want to pick them up and explain. We have a very of a guest that's coming to our house. I want to tell you the following story. It's on page. It's this is from a quote from the safer nishma shabas. This is a shamas. Who's the nishma shabas? Veres. >> Nishma shabas. >> Veres. Yeah, >> it's from the hunt again. >> Okay, you forgot. I also forgot. >> Happiness. >> The story goes it's not the story goes that came to Shil and they didn't wear the cuz it was raining outside. It was raining so they didn't wear the Listen to the story. Let give you another one. Was wearing it's on page. It's number six on top which is 11 on the bottom. It was before people had the mus of a you know what means a that you wear for the rain. Okay, that makes sense. >> You're worried you're not going to you're worried about the newl you're going to get the didn't know what he meant. So he said to them kazal said that all of a person's misinus everything that all the money that you make during a year is decided from rash to rash. If you wear your stryrimal and it gets ruined in the rain, you'll get money to buy a new style and it won't come off your of the year's money that you're supposed to make. Let's see what he says inside. If you'll go with your onus You'll have so you'll get new ones. You don't have to be cheap. Don't be cheap on the and therefore all co- clothing that a person spends shoes suits beckages anything you buy for shabases is not on your so a boy gets married don't buy him a for buy it for shabases he goes so far to say listen to what he says says about this the end of this paragraph I'm not sure who this was who was it who this is this said when you buy a house when you buy a dra buy it and start using it shabas this way [clears throat] even your height of the of your apartment will be shabas that's but worth at least when you want to know what day should I move in it's so hard to move in on Friday you move in on Friday or maybe Thursday it says that you should wash the clothing on Thursdays so that Friday you should be able to cook for Shabas. So if you probably go into the dra on Thursday shabas so it gives you time to set up everything for shabas but then all of that becomes one big shabas. So let's talk practical. So based on what we have let's summarize so far we started off we wanted to know we had a couple of questions. If a person's not feeling well as crank he's sick and I got shield he's not going to show the shabas how should he dress in his house is there an inion to put on bodom of shabas according to what we learned absolutely the zelish shabas that's in the is in your house we said a story of people who couldn't put on big day shabas because they were busy burying somebody from the kadisha so they had to go d in their weekday clothing but when they came home mad said put on big day shabas you should make kesh when you're standing and you're being shabas you should wear coat even if you can't feel you're not feeling up to it or you're stuck in some hotel if you have nice clothing for shabas there's an you wear big day shabas you're being shabas even a person's been it's not for your covet it's the shabas to get cover we said that there's an in at least minimum to wear something because one of the reasons of wearing big day shabas is you shouldn't forget it and make a so there's a for that it's enough one we said every article of clothing that you wear from your whether it's a talis whether it's sitsus whether it's a belt everything [clears throat] that a person wears shabas is enhancing the mitzv the mitzvah Let's go through a list of clothing. If you turn to page 11 on top, 18 at the bottom over here in the brings down a list of clothing. You see this is what it looks like right over there. Shabas pajama pajama. You want to know how to spell it in Hebrew? [clears throat] A belt when they wore they had a belt. Look. You have a you have a you wear for a belt glasses. Some people have shin glazer. Right. Nice glasses. Is there an Indian to wear to buy special shab sticker glasses? [laughter] It's not called clothing. It just allows your eyes to see. So therefore, I wonder I'm not pasing here, but the way some people buy glasses today, it became clothing also already. So I wonder if if the outer Yeah. So I I'm maybe maybe if already the ma became that now glasses became so stylish that it also became clothing. jewelry, right? You don't have to have special. That's like slippers, right? Okay. We call it in old country puppet if you remember, right? It's on the body. Anything that's called anything that's called clothing is an I want to finish with the last page on page 13 on top 20 on the bottom. He has a piece from the pit sadic not so long ago the the belt was learning for those of you who learned and even if you didn't learn but you might have heard that was learning the over there says that does the parel aar means a stranger the Gomorrah says a kayen not wearing big day kahuna is considered a zar his his status of a ken although he's a ken to get he's a ken to do if you dive in over there downstairs in 18 Maine right on the weekdays his status of a ken to be get to get to be He's born that way. But he can't work in the basan mikt if he's not wearing big day kahuna. If he's not wearing the appropriate cone and the gammor calls him a zar just like a Israel is a zor because he's a stranger. Azor means a stranger for the big day is known as big day notab says the preic I'm going to zero in right over here second column the big day [snorts] the big day kahuna takes him from the status of being to being the says when are on them their kohun is with them big shabas for where's big day shabas Right. He brings down that connection clothing. I'm going to explain this a little bit like I heard from my for a minute or two, right? Just to touch upon it. The clothing is a of the person's the clothing is more than just what you put on your body. The the clothing connect to a person so much. So the Gmorra says in that was of people with mitzvah. The situs means to say that the begot itself is to the person and it's a of his. We saw it's a part of his co is also called what I mean to say is that the person is the person's self after the after the of the person in his clothing it's a of his like the way your a person say you give him nutrition and when you're a personal you can kill him right the Gmorrah says you a person it's like him god forbid you you dishonor him so too when you a person you're giving him the clothing of a person is a of his covet is a of his essence and shab ish When a personal say a personal say that the person you are during the week is not the same person you are on chabas the person you are during the week you're not the zela person how come how do I know that is that when a person makes you have to have right you know what that is what happens on Shabas. Do you need one? No. Why not? >> Because all the people are no longer the same people. The one who came on Tuesday or Wednesday on Shabas is he's not the same person. Is another person. If you're a different person, you're dressed with your weekday clothing. That's the way you're supposed to look. You're not this. The reason you don't need pum kadoshas on shabas is because you have pum kadoshas because you're not the same person you were on shabas. You're a person connected to the that says the saddic zik is expressed through the clothing of the person just like a cayenne or a regular cayenne. If he's wearing his clothing, he's considered like a and he can come do the so who wears big day shabas. So when he comes to shabas so he's wearing the clothing appropriate for who he has become the cen became halig through his clothing you saw becomes haik through their clothing that's so the inion of wearing the more clothing you wear the more covetic you become the more honor you give to yourself the more honor you give to shabas
