It's Almost Shabbos! - Rabbi Gershon Turetsky

shalom everybody hope you're doing well it's once again a privilege and a pleasure to be able to share torah with the kolhatorakula community this week's partisan parts of yeshiva after yosemite tells his brothers his family about his dreams and that eventually the the brothers will be bowing down to him so his father yaakovino gives him a little bit of rebuke and then he says the torah tells us that the brothers were jealous of yosef but his father was that mean he guarded it shamar said that the regarded he guarded this he guarded whatever yosef's dreams were so rashy explained what does it mean shamar he was waiting for it to happen anxiously anticipating for this to happen so that idea of anxious anticipation the arkham says that can give us a better understanding of what it means the pastor says in a shmos perigram and allah [Music] to anxiously anticipate the coming of shabbos just like yaakov was anxiously anticipating that moment when yosef would rise to greatness so too we should anxiously anticipate the onset of shabbos our khaim explains we shouldn't look at shabbos as something that's a tier something oh you shabbos is coming in what am i going to do we should look at it as a tremendous opportunity what some call as an oasis in time as we look forward pine for shabbos codes to come at the end of a long work week so master shem if we have this approach to shabbos if we're mom tina mitzap we're anxiously anticipating we're waiting for shabbos to come i'm sure it would not only enhance our shabbos we'll make ourselves better people in the world a better place hashem the mashiach here with meno wishing you all a wonderful shabbos and a tremendous week
