In Seventh Heaven | Rabbi Moshe Tuvia Lieff

Chabis. You know what's incredible about Shabas? It's godless. We're in a different place. Every on combats the poison of food. That's right. Injected venom in food. Food becomes a vehicle for tya. You can't stop thinking about it. Take pictures of your steak. You share with the whole world. I'm aagas. You just spend $200 for a piece of meat. If 100 people don't see it, you never ate it. Food tya brings a person down. Shabas if it's a a salami bar with different kinds of brisket and 20 kinds of herring it's the kil of the and that same food elevates you get to become a more spiritual person now when you meet someone who's never kept shabas before a potential shabas observer two kinds of people in the world those are shabas and those are going to become shre shabas so the first thing I tell you about shabas is that it's claustrophobic it's limiting I can't eat what I want to eat. I can't have a hot pastrarami sandwich. Essen is closed. I can't nuke it up in the microwave. What I have, I get. What I don't have, I don't get. Very, very limiting. But the truth is, it is so not that way. I have a friend of mine went to the Smithsonian Institute and he saw the actual space module that the astronauts flew to the moon. The quarters were so cramped. The seats were molded to the body contours of the astronauts. They ate through tubes. The instrument panel was inches before their faces. Were they claustrophobic? Absolutely not. They were soaring heavenward. They were going with man had never gone before. That's every shabas. It's not limiting. It's not claustrophobic. It sets us free. We soar heavenward every shabas. Every shabas has a unique flavor of that para and therefore he's not claustrophobic. He's soaring heavenward. It all depends on your perspective. You know what Shabas is all about. Shabas is about connecting with and people can turn their shabas into with that you prepare ahead of time. Don't just read from a book. It's so boring you don't even know what you're saying. They don't know what the next word is all about. Spend a few minutes preparing. Engage the children. Show that you care that it's inspirational. That it means something to you. Shabas is a celebration of life. That's why we drink wine because of wine causes a person to be happy to be happy. I once met a young man and yes is crying to me and heav all of the he had transgressed. I told him I'm learning. I'm saying if you'd really learn, you'd be happy because you're sh is the pinnacle of you do everything on. You don't do complete and like we were 25 hours out of the office not even thinking about business. All the things are the ecstasy of to keep Shabas to celebrate Shabas. No shore.
