Shabbos The Best Defense | Rabbi Yaakov Moshe Twerski

We are fast approaching the last shabas of the year of tshin. What is our aveda for the last shabas of the year and of course on its heels the first shabas of tshin which is what is our and why don't we blow it accomplishes such incredible things. You look into all this how it drives the Sen nuts and how the moves from to and we don't do it on Shabas. Why don't we do this on Chabas? I read a story once where there was a Yid who was hosted by another Yid in Stampford Hill. And this Yid in Stampford Hill noticed that this Yid had an incredible connection to the Sud Shabas and Samir Shabas. And he got the Yid to open up and his guest told him that he had worked in the Mosad. And once he had an operation in Zurich, where him and a friend of his were supposed to assassinate a terrorist at a certain intersection at 8:00 p.m. on Friday night of Shabas, he was invited by a Yid in Zurich to come spend the Shabas with him. and they had begged him saying he needed a guest for Shabas. Please come to me for the suda and he agreed with the understanding that he had enough time to get to his operation on time. He spent an incredible suda shabas at his host's home in Zurich and especially their shabas were just out of this world and after singing he looked at his watch and it was 5 to8 and he realized he had blown this. He quickly ran to the intersection to where this operation was supposed to take place. was ready 8:25 by the time he got there and of course there was no Z not to his friend and not to the terrorists and he hoped that all went well Shabas he found out that the terrorists had gotten wind of the planned ambush and he in turn had ambushed his friend and lo they killed him but he was spared because he spent time on sud shabas far tell us the incredible shabas the word z besides for meaning to sing also means to cut away and with this shabas we cut away everything bad and all our limit meditations, everything that inhibits us and we connect to Shabas. We connect to the shal and it takes care of everything that we need and we fly off to a different place. The tell us that the last shabas of the year is like we're holding on to the end of a rope. You can still yank back the whole rope. So the iso and the basar write that the of the year is to rectify all the shabas where we wish we would have spent more time with shabas focused on shabas honoring shabas singing with shabas here all the years to sing and to sing to connect to sing and to honor the shabas and then we bring back with us all of those shabases. And you know what? Shabas Kesh is our greatest advocate. There were two defendants that had incredibly incriminating evidence against them. One of them decided he had no other way but to pull the fire alarm when the prosecutor was to begin talking. The other one hired the greatest advocate in the world that never lost their case. And not only that, he got the prosecutors in trouble. On a regular year where Rashana falls out during the week, we have no choice. We need to pull the fire alarm. And that's the Kia Schaer. But when falls on Shabas, we have an we have the greatest advocate in the world. When there is no advocate that's the but on Shabas we have an advocate the is 702 which is Shabas. We have the greatest advocate in the world getting up and saying without there's no Shabas. It's us or no one. And the takes shabas very seriously and gives us everything good in the world. says that when the takes away the so literally has the same where there is no there doesn't need to be because we have the where there is no say he says when the first day of the year falls out on Zion our mouths filled with laughter and we sing and that will continue. The last shabas of the year and the first shabas of the year will sing. Shabas will be our greatest advocate for us to continue singing. ever.
