Lecha Dodi (Pt II) | Rabbi Dr. Aaron Adler

memory of today is not only Lincoln's birthday right February 12th 1809 but on the very same day in a different part of the world another pretty famous person was born Charles Darwin and several years ago in raote I gave a whole on shabat on the connection between or differences between the lingan understanding of the world of humanity and darwins was a nice structure I'm not going to do that now okay we're gonna try to finish today I say that because once the r said at the end of the year he wanted to finish something he didn't do it and he set up a baon to do so I'm telling you I'm not sure we're going to do this but we're going to do make our last week we started doing the stanza of so we mentioned that announced this to all of us we all heard it and this I what I was speaking about was the uh the the issue of how much of the Asser BR is a little bit of an echo how much of the Asser de bro were actually heard by Amel the basic shot basic basic understanding from theim is that we heard all 10 except the kazal came along and explained that we perhaps only heard the first two and even the remaining eight were heard by heard by BYU but then given over to us given over to us by mhu um the rambam in his believes that we actually didn't hear any what does that mean didn't hear any and R brings the that says that we heard the first two so he said only those who are capable of being prophets actually heard the words which is the negation the prohibition against idolatry is the negation of believing or accepting the existence of God but what rahan believes was everybody heard B like Sonic booms K's voice caused Sonic type of booms which um was interpreted by people that the only explanation to these sounds because they didn't know of um supersonic jets in those days it must have come from heaven and that's how the Raam understands the P which will read this coming Shabbat this is not good it's not good yeah yeah some's yeah it's just a b a little bit of an air I I'll try to put it down is it better now there you go there you go it's a thank you that was good I'm going write that one down this I think is a little bit better I'm going stay away from the microphone stay away from the microphone okay a um the rahama believes that the only explanation that people had for these sounds were some Divine cause and that's how R understands the in at the end of now we generally don't see sounds so what does it mean ra says we saw and appreciate the fact that through these sounds existed that that's his way of understanding that so you have um differences of opinion as to what am actually heard at har but at least from the simple gave over this to all of us means to us he was to us except that what we have in the and what we have in now it is true famous right this I have on the source number two from the it appears in various places [Music] that what what you have in the first set of the that they wrote and the second were said in one utterance being can't do that human ear cannot comprehend two things simultaneously but we learn various from this this wasn't as if to say flexing his muscles that he could do something that we can't do came to teach us the very that whoever is involved in about guarding oneself from the prohibited activities including men and women are also involved in which is the MIT of Kes Friday night men and women so that's a that's derived from but why does reverse the order so one of the classic reasons is he needs the shin for the acrostic for his name if you look at source number three we see something fascinating in the Raman in this week's parisher in yro [Music] in the compilation of a a secret a secret by the ramban doesn't mean don't tell anybody it means it's a cabalistic idea that's what he's trying to tell you it's a cabalistic idea usually the Raman will introduce something of a cabalistic nature by saying that doesn't mean that what he said before wasn't true it simply is a codee word and now I'm moving over to give a cabalistic explanation I heard from rabstein the great who spoke to Shalom about the AL of the rans and Ra's question was if you don't go into the cabala either because you're not familiar with how kabala works you just want to gloss over it you just want to read the of the ramban are you missing out on anything of the ramban's if you put parenthesis around the cabalistic add-ons and the said you're not missing anything theat is theat as an autonomous per and then ran glosses over to Al and raan felt that n's explanation was as authoritative as we're going to get so that's important to know so here ra is not giving his own explanation he's quoting a that gave a which means that we know Shabbat has 24 hours I know it's 25 hours today that's because we're M we start from Sundown but we end it after Nightfall after three stars so you get yourself an extra hour in the package and that's because of our uh inability to put our fingers on precisely when the night begins and when the night ends so Hally there's a little bit of a of a Twilight Zone from Shia from Sundown so we are M from and the night Friday night and we're m not to end Shabbat at sundown but to keep it rolling another so on and that's at how much the SE on is but most of us have about a half hour after Sundown and maybe a little bit more some people have 72 minutes after Sundown that's and so on whatever it is it's a little extra so it's almost 25 hours but in theory Shabbat is 24 hours and so on it's 24 hours in theory so the the if a person does a Shabbat if he takes a pen and starts writing two letters Friday night or he does it Friday shabas morning it's the same of there's no difference with regard to the sanctity of Shabbat but on a cabalistic level there is a difference between the night time the daytime the nighttime is called shamor and the daytime is called zakor so now we need some explanation what this means but one thing it does answer why schl alabat writes the shamur before the Z because in the in in this chronological sequential order of time the night of Shabbat comes before the morning of Shabbat and now he's standing at the night of Shabbat and therefore it's sham followed by zah that's that's the calistic reason why he wrote it of course he needs to Shin so fits in nicely what does the ran say well get the Kish in the morning hang in there hang in there don't jump the gun let's see what this is the Ran's going to refer to the Kish in the morning so it says is the daytime but is the night time this something that says the idea of of um you know going out and and and meeting the Shabbat is something alluded to by the Friday night that we do something we're inviting let's go out to to visit the Shabbat to bring in the invite the Shabbat in and we call the Kish in the morning K now those people that's that F phrase is found in the last par in the context of but it's refers to every shabas morning's KES as well which means K most of the commentators in the gar say it's euphemistic because if you look at the text of the Friday night KES and you size it up against the text of the shabas morning KES which is the big KES which is the small KES it's clear that the nighttime KES is the big KES and the morning KES is the baby KES because the the ram has that the morning KES is just so fine so we've added a few to to go along with it some people say some say people you know have whatever say and I remember when the r spoke about this issue of kdes it was on the yard side giat in 1979 so he he he he said that my grandfather my Z he did like the r he just said which opened up the 3,000 people are sitting there okay that's what your grandfather did what do you do so one guy had the guts to to yell out what does the r do so the r looked and he says why say he him beforehand why so the r gave two answers one was was completely humoristic he says cuz it's so printed in the benches and everybody cracked up it was 3,000 people doubling over and laughing because everybody knew that that wasn't an answer it's printed in the VES looked in the the VES that's what he said printed in the v but then he says don't you ever forget I had another grandfather that was very telling because the rub grew up in the town of pran where his grandfather maternal grandfather of ellia Feinstein was the r and as a child he heard his grandfather say kiddish and so on that's what he grew up later in life he hears that his Z bris did it differently but that didn't make a difference anymore the kidish was already implanted in his head and he basically in that case was teaching us we're all hybrids you have two grandparents of course most of your Traditions come from your paternal grandfather but occasionally mugam sneak into the family through the maternal grandfather it can't happen and it's not to be you know brushed aside so what does the r explain in that she he says that there are two plans for G the two plans for already spelled out in the I am God in its time will hasten the okay so that's what they call in literature in oximoron if it's in its time that it's not hastened if it's hastened it's not on sched so what does that mean accelerated accelerated is not on schedu says no no problem here there's one possibility where will do Chua will be a mass chuva movement then will kick into gear The Accelerated mode of G but if am does not do chv the G is gonna come anyway but in a scheduled way and interpreted by most the unscheduled accelerated way means something you know miraculous it's going to be they in Hebrew we say alv miraculous and if it's going to be a scheduled way it's going to be through the normal course of geopolitical events and so on it's gonna happen anyway but it won't happen you know in a miraculous way but it'll happen anyway you see here kazal talking about the two different possibilities and the reason why they had confidence that there were two possibili ities because various spoke in different tones some spoke in very miraculous ways of of G and some spoke of very natural ways of you can posit one way and the other way and they're both right we'll see what's gonna happen we'll see what's going to happen so this is says that the cabalist understood that the nighttime represented Amel in the galut doing something about it the idea of we're gonna come out and we're gonna the into the picture and and bring the G not by divine power but by human initiative human initiative is going to bring about the G that is The KES that we're making Friday night we are saying in the nighttime is in a stance of as if to say standing on the sideline waiting and watching to see if I'm you is gonna make a move and we are to make the move Friday night but if we don't succeed and already Jewish history moves onward then aosh promises that he will bring the Gul anyway all by himself and this is The Stance of of a in the morning the daytime he will be the active partner am Israel will then re recede to the sidelines so what is The KES in the morning you know what's missing in the kdes in the morning KES and I'm not talking about the chant or the cou or the wine thees where you're calling it Kish but where's the mes shabat the only thing you have there is a barin you have Su before that's the as we said the printer printed it fine but KES is is where's the of Kish so raan says that the K Raba in Aramaic is not the way others thought it's really the baby kidish but we don't don't want to insult it so we call it the great kiddish that's the euphemism the ran says it's K is a nickname of a has all kinds of nicknames so the Kish in the morning is the K of the G who's making Kish in the morning is doing The KES because he's bringing the G and the only thing we have to do is say to that so we do it on a bar guffin on a cup of wine but we're not Mak KES The KES of the morning is the K that a is making and this is the in the calistic way of seeing a bringing the G in the morning and hence you have the nighttime stance of being active well let's use the phrase proactive when we're in the middle of the gut if it doesn't work is going to do the job anyway this also might lend explanation to the seeming contradiction what we read last Shabbat in the end of says I will eradicate yet in we call it says are ordain to eradicate well let let's get it right who's gonna do it so much so there was some of the those who counted Mitzvah didn't count the Mitzvah of eradicating amalik into the scheme of 613 because if is goingon to do it it's not our Mitzvah the raah does count it so what does it mean it means we have to do our best every generation if says the be a war against the amim every generation it means that the previous generation didn't succeed but they may have tried they may have tried to do their best but says every generation G have it but at the end of the day as the pan says in the we end the S with this in the uh in the song of is going to deal the death blow at the end at the end are G to get it that's so you have here the two possibilities supposed to do its best and if we don't succeed is gonna wrap it up and that's exactly the way understood what the ran is saying here why the nighttime this is the so this is the secret the capitalistic secret of what sh is all about in this reversed order from Z and um one last word about introdu this with the Froman of of so my son explained once that you can read the word not with a tough which means eight which season or time you read it with a t which means a kick he says when gets a kick then then things are going to start rolling well read the newspapers today us you see they're getting a big kick right that's right they're getting we're getting kicked also fine and then the idea is the continuation of the first ST which means alabat is now bringing us into the spirit of which PO is and that is and we've said this already with regard to others we wrote that every Shabbat ushers in the spirit of the end of days and this PUK is in zakar after the that last war that's being predicted by both and Zar shame I write I give you the from where you have that phrase The Poets as you know flip the words many times around but it's it's from there and it means that in those days Kosh is going to be universally acknowledged universally uh praised and so on and we say this in the kades when we say which is a Aramaic variant of that's what was in case you never knew and in those days will be which means it's going to be universally universally acknowledged all over that which Abu started right Rashi says abam converted the men and Sarah converted the women the that means the word spreading the word of monotheism of acknowledging kosh's presence in this world the culmination is going to be he will be acknowledged throughout the world and every year in R we for this this is [Music] the okay next answer we're now looking at Shabbat coming in let's go towards it let's go out towards Shabbat Shabbat is the source of our blessings that this is going to be something very similar to what Ron M Carin wrote in the we did about a month ago plus and I'll just read the line from we say that the six days of the week nourish their sanctity from the day of Shabbat and when we did that section I quoted a whole point from the Zohar that actually spelled it out very carefully the source of so that you have the source number six the pro The Source from from braid that's obviously the source of Shabbat being the source of braa it's it's uh inculcated with with braa but the idea that it is the source of raah for all of the weekdays so this is based on the cabalistic Zohar which we' we have already done with regard to and that every day and that's one of the reasons that when we say every day there's something of Shabbat embedded in the weekday and and that gave uh some type of spiritual energy Shabbat gives off spiritual energy to all of the days of the week fine now we continue with the poem is not only the name of a grandson of mine but it's also brings us back to ganen right but it's also a gra juice right why do you think they call it K why because there's an opinion that says that the the tree of ganeden was a Gein there four different opinions what was the tree the fruit of the ganeden I'll tell you which one it isn't it's not an apple apple entered into the picture through Christian art and how did that happen because of one of the opinions that the fruit of the tree was an RO and the translation in the T the septo of of in shim wasog so the tap of shirim is not the the Apple that the you know the pink Apple that you buy here in the supermarket it was in a drog so the theog was somehow confused with the tap and therefore in Christian Europe the tapak became the figure in the picture in all the paintings of ganeden but it wasn't a tapak that was William Tell he he had the tap but other Maisha they were either plucking at or they were plucking grapes or plucking figs or plucking wheat so of course wheat is that a fruit that already also good but but it's not an Apple fine so because the grapes might be one of them so it's possible and and [Music] in Shabbat was on God's mind from way back way back be means like way back way back so we say this in the under the no imine which means we're trying to have the replay the first steps of AD in ganen or hopefully your home will be a gan I you can make a lot of Dres here you know why that was brought into and what does it mean what does that mean like well like generally translated that's the end of parade that means like the way once upon it was basically it means let's go back to the first bet mdash we're not interested in going back to the second bet mdash that was floyed there were a lot of floors in the second mdash let's go back to the way it was originally first some say that it means let's go back to the day where there were no because when and were created it was no there was no not yet sin didn't happen yet so let's go back to that era to G so so what no Mother's more okay but here it means way back from day one as if to say even though Shabbat comes into the picture at the end of creation it was on the table at the beginning of creation me didn't work six days and then you know what time for a day off no no no no no it was pre-programmed that there was going to be a seventh day that's what the pan says it's been established from way back it happens at the end but who thought about up front Okay then the pan moves over to the history bet mdash is destroyed the is in galut we've seen this already the idea that in the days of gal the presence of God goes down to galut with the great bet mikdash the Royal bet mikdash in the city that houses the bet mikdash everything is turned upside down means it was it was vandalized destroyed burnt ransacked should come out of it that phrase you look at the number seven from the phrase is found in you see that has got the whole tanak opened in front of him he does not have a a computerized digitalized T that he can push a button and see ah anybody ever say that before Bingo you know in two seconds you comes up on the screen he's working from his head with a full knowledge of tanak and then a in it says this is Lo in St and um it says who comes to save Lo he says pick yourself up and remove yourself from this place and this phrase is the only time in that is found the um he take this why is it and there it says because he was a Gana right he read it like a Gana my grandfather would have read it also right but beside that that's irrelevant why he changes the tense because he's talking about himself now who meets let's get up let stand up it's enough already in the Valley of Tears Should Have Mercy Mercy compassion on us this is also a Biblical phrase taken out of the page of uh I don't have it on the page here but it's from from he says it enough the phrase means enough enough enough it's too much too much can't handles anymore too much in this Valley of of Tears he should have should have compassion on us and so on and now he moves into to a series of stanzas that are reworked from yes so let's say in theim First Source number nine 9 10 and 11 and 12 and 13 and they all come from one is from but the others are yes he is reworking yes the famous that we read in the after Tish between Tish and rash you have the seven of consolation and they're all from and here in it says wake up wake up get dressed put on the clothing the clothing of royalty again no longer will be the defiled T people in in come to it's going to be a purified City get up wake up the idea of Slumber identified with sin and galut is well well known well known in tan as a metaphor y right he goes down to the bottom of the ship to take a SCH you know all of a sudden it's you know two in the afternoon he's got to take a schl no no no no no he's running away from the fact that he's running away from and the sailors come down when they [Music] say what are you sleeping now get up and call to your God and the took this line as the opening number of that's how they start saying from the beginning of el for 40 days wake up from the Slumber and the rambam says this too and the rambam usually doesn't throw in htics but he says in the third chapter of even though the mitzah is a it's in there's an illusion atic illusion wake up wake up from your Slumber the only reason reason that you've sinned is because you've fell into some SCH hour and you didn't realize what you're doing and the Scher is there to jolt us it's an alarm clock it's an alarm it's a siren to wake us up so this is the pan using all of these images from the tum phrase we'll see how he uses it in a second he uses it at the end of one one the stanzas and then 11 same phrase get up wake up and and in 12 get up because I'm shining on you the the the honor the glory of God is now shining on you wake up you have in in that we just read in the in the idea of wake up wake up wake up wake up this is something that's known and then 14 there's nothing to be embarrassed you will not be ashamed any longer you you'll never be reminded any long longer that you are uh you were you were widowed and so on without your bet mikdash it's going to be behind us all the sadness is going to be forgotten I mean is this beautiful what Yesa was talking to telling us we're going to be in an era we're not going to remember any longer the hard times today it's part of our psyche that we remember the hard times it's actually part of the Mitzvah to remember the hard times you're not just G to talk about going to talk about the the slavery in Egypt it's part of us when you say fine let's remember we're still in trouble one day it's gonna be different right with I'm Alik because I'm Alik keeps repeating right right right right right so all of these phrases let's see how how how the pan uses all of these from the stanza may offer restating the wake up from the get up from the dirt wake up Adorn yourself with the Royal clothing who's that from is from just keeping the poet the rhyme scheme that came from that please bring that to it's a play it's not only to usher in the G but I should feel redeemed as well that I should feel redeemed with your you know bringing us out of it wake up wake up he simply takes the p and reverses the the the the syntax but it's lifted it's yes would have had a good lawyer he could have sued him for for Mal for for for plagiarism mamash you know who else needed a good lawyer the uh the of yfo guy somebody in bar Lan did a a a a survey of all the words in shul and 30% is from the Ramba can you imagine you writing a book and 30% of the book comes from some of the other guy you're G to get a lawyer's letter for sure 30% 30% of the is the Ra's language right okay so C might not good good so here he's he's rewarding rewarding maybe flipped the words because he didn't want to get a lawyer's letter he flips the words straight out of your as we saw wake up the glory of God is already on you do not do not be embarrassed do not what are you w dropping down from the word as if to say why you in collapsed mode why you weeping why you weeping will take you under the wings and that also was a p somewhere I see it right 16 he took it straight out of this from that's out of so 17 and the everything should be rebuilt from Ground Zero up it's a great great translation of mine from ground Z from the bottom up just build it up once again now he's going to turn around and say say something that many of the other poets also did and that is that we ask to deal a blow to all our enemies who are holding up the process those amim what is what is also means smashed the those who are trying to smash us should be smashed should drive out all of those who are causing us to somehow depreciate and and this comes out of theim number 18 from this is called measure for a measure an eye for an eye I remember the r on and he gave I wasn't there I was four years old but 1956 when the r spoke the famous speech called do do F which became a Manifesto of his religious Zionism was y of 1956 at University so there he gives six times he's hearing the with the emergence of the state of Israel and one of them was that even though in the halakic sense an eye for an eye doesn't mean that the judges take the guy's eye out it means there's a a financial assist assessment of the difference between a person with two eyes as opposed to one eye and that becomes the financial value the monetary value and that's what he pays but the said when it comes to those who are attacking us in is we have to take out the eye you have to give it back to them he was very very militant in that particular speech but here y was saying the same thing those are trying to bash us they'll get bashed those are trying to to steal our property B is booty take our things attain L I'll have it that we'll take their stuff because whatever they try to do to us we will give it right back to them and that's what the poet says now comes the message of I this is also from Source number 20 a lot of were composed around this we sing this at weddings a lot of times it's actually sung right after the right the band goes into and so on and this means that the wedding is happening the Kal is represent bringing in the Shabbat we are the and it is now going to be a joyous moment yes is but what it means from the word s the word s that God should bring up upon us the the the and so it's it's in the command the way the are rejoicing let's Branch out this is also based on branching out it's also based on the your tent is going to expand in a in a in in a the way Einstein saw the expansion of the universe Yim as its borders will expand and and and everybody will see that this is going to be an expansion you know the the capitalists actually say that the in in times whole is is is going to be and the whole world is going to be Isel that's a very problematic idea because it negates because if that happens then there's no no there's a question what does mean there has to be something that remains outside of and it also gives an excuse for people not to come on alah because they're waiting for messiah and then Messiah You Know M becomes is so why do I have to move you know like right so he'll tell you to leave New Zealand to leave New Zealand in Antarctica Alish Ben again a reference to who is the son of parrots zerak and parrot from parat vev the son of Yehuda and Tamar so who becomes parrots parot par the last right so Ben parrot becomes the great parrot was the great great great great great great grandfather of right so it means again so before you refer to from and now he's calling that doesn't come from the but that comes from if you look at 23 we say this in before 23 so it comes from there and now comes the climactic ending where inat they would go out to the field and say this but we're lazy so we stay in sh but we stand up and turn around to the door last week I explained turn around to the West direction or to the door where in Europe that meant the same thing because the VIS was was there ones towards Isel so the door in the back of the sh was the West now in Isel everything's all messed up because we buildt shs all over the place and you don't face M you face so if you're in G you face North if you're in bet L you face South and if you're in Mal you face West because you're facing so the question is where do you turn around so according to those who say you turn around to the door makes no difference what the direction according to those who say you turn around to the west then you're not turning around to the door you have to see what direction your Shool is built to turn west and that causes some confusion in shoes what most Sho people do today They carried in their baggage their Min of their grandparents they turn around so they turn around and then sometimes not necessarily to the door and not necessarily to the west but they turn around so all right Soh will do the gyroscope um and and and and and make that it that it should work in the right direction but at this point we all stand up and say shalom is a phrase out a m in it's not the it says I said it's not the peric that we sing which is the 31st peric of mishle the last peric of mish this comes from the 12th chapter of mish where it says she is the crown of her husband I mean you know there's some people when they receive Awards they get up and they say it's all my wife she deserves everything right there's a reason that I dedicated my ran book to my wife there's a reason you know and U no no in all sincerity what better I bet you said it not me said it right I refer to my wife as the FL and and and and I got some comments about that to say that it's very nice oh it's beautiful it's beautiful very poetic sure sure sure sure and I made it I meant it lovingly you sure so Shalom the the uh the crown of the husband that's the Shabbat who is it the different so some people do a compromise they say on Friday night they say but on Friday night of Y they say because it's I'm not sure that made that distinction in the the manuscripts that we have of this and we do have some it says there three phrases that are mentioned there this is through the what does it mean the faith what does it mean the fa Faith here many people who commented on the have made reference to the fact that on Shabbat there is a there's an extra dimension of that we have every single shabas so the gar talks about this in 25 everybody receives an extra dimension of ofish of spirituality on Shabbat Shabbat take takes it away and some say that's the reason that we smell by because with the L of the you're ready to faint and what do you do when somebody faints you give him something strong to smell so he revives himself that's one of the reasons for Bim and um the Rashi tells us that theay has to do with Gast Gastronomy has to do with appetite for food that normally we we eat two meals a day this the way the way it was until modern days and the we the way we celebrate Shabbat is by having an extra bill so we call it sud now most people's systems aren't ready to handle a third meal so you have to have a to allow you to be able to ingest a third meal that's how Rashi understood it it only has to do with eating right very Jewish approach has to do it pressing extra on Shabbat but that's not how the cavales saw it and they saw it as add a dimension of spirituality and by accepting this additional dimension of spirituality Friday night we are welcoming the into our homes this is and and some have this ending boab we actually said another time the Shabbat Queen should enter into our homes fine now I raised a question last week we'll end with this point that on chabas yam Friday night happens to be let's say Shabbat and yam it's also yam it happens a lot right the first night of suot the first night of PES can be Friday night so ashim delete the entire Shabbat just sayat by accepting Shabbat and let's move on to B and that's it but or even have an abbreviated they don't say but they do say the and they have an abbreviated which means they do the first two stanzas and the last two stanzas fromom which sounds very odd because there's a message to this whole poem and it flows and what you're doing is you're cutting something out so what actually is being cut out which being cut out is actually the reference to the galut all those stanzas that that bring about the Pang of hardship when we ask you know clean us up get us out of the mess rebuild and all that reminds us that we're in a mess and we're dirtied by being in the Galo all that is not there on y why because the can't handle why does a person sitting before yam stand up from his Aus right as the the yam enters and there's no continuation of the afterwards because doesn't mean gay it means standing with means is gonna be with you and when you're in the presence of a it's soothing when is with us it is soothing and therefore there's no reference whatsoever to being sad or being in mourning on on shabat on yam and even though it's we will delete those sections of the that even led us to remind ourselves of those hard days but the r said something very interesting similar to many times and I know this from school school administration you have a teacher's lounge a teacher room a teacher Lounge so somebody's making a s right the biology teacher making a Sim it's not gonna invite the whole staff that's ridiculous you know you're limited de to know who you yeah your best friends you know your closest people at work work Rel friends you invite to the wedding but you have to acknowledge it somehow so you put an invitation up and in the in the the Lu in the board and in the teacher lounge and you're write see this as a private invitation when I see that I know one thing don't come because if he wanted to invite me or if she wanted to invite me he would have invited me properly with an invitation what is this all about it's just a nice way of saying you're invited but don't come but maybe I'll bring some schnaps and Cake you know the day after the wedding we'll say the said shabat we have a problem we always invite Shabbat to our homes Friday night that's what the is but we're not home where you I we have to go to so how are you inviting to your home if you're not going to be there so what do we do we put up a sign you're invited but don't come we say the first two and last two stanas the r said this not as a humoristic line he thought it was serious explanation it's a type of watered down explanation indicating don't bother coming because we're not home we mdash tonight but nevertheless it's still Shabbat so therefore we remember that we should be inviting the to our homes for Shabbat but they don't like this so they just deleted the whole business and just start mm and as the med says
