The Ultimate Experience | Rabbi Daniel Glatstein

[music] [bell] Typically, [music] if someone asks you, "How was Shabas?" you would respond, "It was good. It was great. It was [music] terrible, it was average." That would be the response of the unsophisticated Shabas observer. But like if somebody asks you, "How was the restaurant?" would you just say, "Good, bad, medium?" Or the sophisticated [music] consumer would ask, "What do you mean how is the restaurant? Do you mean the aderv? Do you mean the soup? Do you mean [music] the fish? Do you mean the main course? Do you mean the dessert? Do you mean the ambiance? The sophisticated [music] consumer is able to break down the experience into specific components. It should be the [music] same with Shabas. Shabas is not all the same spiritual experience. There's kaduca of Friday night. [music] There's kaduca of shabas morning. There's kaduca of shabas by mka. And actually these three kaducas of Shabas are reenacting and reliving three of the most momentous shabas in the history of the world. Friday night [music] teaches we're reenacting Shabasius when Hashem created the world in six days and rested on the shabas. That's [music] why the main theme of the zero Friday night is Shabas. Hashem resting from [music] creating the world. Shabas morning we're reenacting and commemorating Shabas Matan tora the Shabas that Hashem gave the Torah to the Jewish people as the Gomorrah [music] says klema everybody agrees to in fact most of the of Shabas morning are focused [music] on the giving of the Torah even ad which consists of 10 [music] words then 72 words then 12 words that teaches Hashem gave the [music] through his 72let name to the 12watim Shabas morning. We're reenacting Shabas. We're commemorating [music] and reliving and yearning for Shabas, the future Shabas, the Shabas of the Gula. So the next time someone asks you, how was Shabas? Now that you're a sophisticated Shabas [music] observer, you'll be able to respond, do you mean Friday night? Do you mean the kaduca of le Shabas? Do you mean the kaduca [music] of Shabas morning? Or do you mean the kaduca of Shabas afternoon? by the more we learn the various and various we're able to experience more sophisticated understanding and appreciation [music] of the great experience of Shabasesh.
