Oorah's Torah Spot Live 6/26/12: "Shabbos" -part 5- A Day of Pleasure and Joy

and welcome everybody to tonight's special Gathering Ino now you must be wondering what in the world are these fine gentlemen doing here it's not before PES it's not before it's not before suus it's not before Kan it's not before por when we always have a special party before all the holidays so what's the holiday's no holiday coming up the answer is tonight is our fifth night that I'm discussing shabas and they always tell shabas is the most holy of all the holidays so I thought to myself this is not fair if all the holidays have a special party shabas which is the master and the and the and the outstanding holiday of all holidays shabas should be left out it's not fair so therefore I asked our wonderful performers here our artists in singing and playing that they should come and make chabas that's the name we called it tonight they of pleasure and joy God sits together with every Jewish Family at the shabas table and therefore since shabas is day of Joy fig our lasto on chabas would be very appropriate to bring out the joy of shabas sing some of the chabas songs and get some insight into them and I'm sorry to say that I don't know what happened but the gloss sheet is about half empty that many things that are supposed to be are not here I don't know what happened but we'll fill it in anyway with our words the first expression on this sheet was supposed to be oh one second it's number five look at that number five it's here we're supposed to be number one it's number five now this is one of the shabas songs that's sung at the table of chabas in the daytime certain songs are sung at Friday night at the table the shabas table and certain songs are sung at the shabas day suda dinner that we have and certain ones is are at the third shalas meal that we have this particular one shabas beautiful tune to it is sung at the Day meal that we start in the morning usually and continue continue until the afternoon and what it means a very special significance to this to this song If I watch out for shabas God will watch over me if we watch shabas and keep shabas God will watch over us and keep us so I'll ask our artist to sing a song about this and there's a very special story that's attached to this song which I want to tell you it's an unbelievable story and uh maybe we'll get into it a little bit usually we start with but for shabas don't say all the says we say because it has to come 30 days of an interval to say shabas comes every seven days we don't make shabas so instead of we want to start off with this song of shabas do people have oh they have it over here number five yeah so uh if you please if would uh give us the pleasure of hearing this wonderful song and then I'll tell you the story that's attached to it [Music] sh [Music] see the they know you baby he [Music] [Applause] [Music] your hand [Music] they know [Music] you they know your [Music] [Applause] [Music] the of [Music] [Applause] of [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] la [Applause] it's actually a very uh long song the actual text of the song This is taken out just the beginning of it because they added on part of it I see whenas God will watch me it's an everlasting sign between God and Me God and Me person said personally God has his personal relationship with every Jewish person by keeping shabas it's a sign of love between God and His nation and every Jewish person now the story goes like this I might get a little emotional when I say this story I get choked up when I say with the story but so who cares what what's wrong with that but anyway just to uh uh get you forewarned the story is like this is a true story that happened about two months ago and I personally involved in the story the people that were involved in the story it's authentic 100% I'm not going to say the whole story right now because not all of it's relevant but I'll say the point of that's relevant there was a a man who was not religious and he was studying about Judaism and he decided he would like to keep chabas stop working in chabas be home with his family be home with God at the shabas table and his family his problem was that the company he worked for like we spoke about every week so far in the old times but the new times too they were very particular and they demanded that all their employees work on Saturday and he knew if he stops working Saturday he's going to lose his job and he was going through this for week after week this inner conflict what should he do finally he decided that's it he's take the jump went to his boss and said I cannot work on Saturday anymore I'm becoming a Sabbath Observer and come with me I'm telling you my plans so his boss said well you know the policy of the company that if you don't work on Saturday we can't retain you as an employee but as the uh custom of the company is he doesn't fire anybody it goes to the head person there was a big company all over different cities the head of that city of the company he does the official hiring firing so I'm going to submit what you said to him and he'll speak to you so sure enough he was called in the next day by the big boss the big boss said to him listen the policy of the company is that we do not retain anybody who does not work on Saturday however since you're such a great worker a loyal worker we're going to make an exception you can stay with the company not come in the Saturday but this Saturday you must come because this Saturday they have a special project and you're the only one who knows the ins and outs of that project and you must come to Saturday after Saturday you can take off from from now on but said we must have you because this a special time that we must have the certain training whatever it is for the employees and you're the one who knows what's going on we need you here you must come well the man was sort of bit sweet here in one hand he's getting off shabas the other hand he must come in for the shabas so he was in the turmoil what should he do he called up his Rabbi happen to be Rabbi in the Ura office who uh one of the coordinators I think it was and he told him his dilemma what shall I do here I'll be able to take a every shab I decided I'm taking the jump and now I got another stumbling block in front of me this shabas I have to come so it's a very difficult thing so the coordinator said I'm going to ask from a great Rabbi tell him the story and see what he says I'm not great enough to answer this question this is a difficult question to answer so he went to this great rabbi and the rabbi told him tell the person if you keep shabas shabas will keep you if you watch shabas shabas will watch out for you shabas don't worry so he came back to the person they told him I asked this Rabbi the rabbi told me tell him if you watch shabas shabas will watch you person heard it didn't know what to do big turmoil within in a conflict what should he do he went to sleep that Friday night he couldn't sleep the whole night twisting and turning what should he do Rabbi says the boss says he got up the morning decided I'm going to work can't help it one more shabas and after that I keep keep all the shabas afterwards so I'm going to go the shabas comes downstairs from the bedroom take a cup of coffee before he leaves on the table he sees that one of his children who attended a Jewish school left on the table when one of the T sheets kids being home before shabas that they have them T sheets that the parents go over with them at the shabas table he picked it up and couldn't believe his eyes the sh said if you'll keep shabas chabas will keep you huh he couldn't believe it he again he read it front of his eyes if you'll keep shabas shabas will keep you you figured that's it how close can God come to talk to me here this big turmoil is in decided and now God sends him a message through his child if he'll keep shab shabas will keep you decid that's it he's not going to work after that it's clear assignment from Heaven telling him pulling him pushing him what are you doing decide to keep chabas keep it didn't go to work came in Monday morning expecting for to be called in the boss okay you know you're taking advantage I gave you off every shabas you didn't come this shabas he comes a Monday morning and one of the coor hey we missed you Saturday but don't worry John from Detroit happened to come in that chabas and he knows all the stuff that you know and he took care of everything we didn't even need you to come all together that was it end the story chabas will keep you if you'll keep chabas what chabas shall watch over you that was great song that we just sang over here there's more to the story but this is the main the main punchline that has to do with our with our theme that we're talking about tonight unbelievable story we're up to number one had luus neous lighting the shabas candles how many shabas kles is a woman supposed to like the different Customs to be fulfill the basic obligation one candle is good enough but some people light two candles because in the Ten Commandments that we're learning is z Shar that we mentioned the first Commandments that were given before the tablets were broken Z remember the day of shabas to keep it holy the second tablets that were given down to Moses after the first ones were broken shmer watch and keep the day of shabas sh we have to remember it to keep the positive mitz of shabas sham to keep the don'ts of shabas so remers of sh some people like two candles some people light seven candles seven days of the week to remember God created the world in seven days he rested on the seventh day some people like seven candles some people whatever they start lighting when the bur gets married every child they have afterwards they add on another candle because every child that's born is a it's a a Holy Soul coming from God and we have a that says the person's the is considered to a candle of God because the the is very holy God created the the with his own Holiness it's like a great light in the Sham of a person so there for every the sh that's born they add one light on some people big families almost the whole table is full of candles you hard can hard to eat on the table some some people have 12 children 14 children but that's a great joy that they have that they God blessed them with such a big family but the different types of uh of of of Customs that people do now we know the those women who light candles for shabas because they have to LIT before Sundown now in this season of The Summer which Sundown is so late it's the latest Sundown fast now by 8:31 Sundown now so it's pretty easy to light it on time but during the winter when it's four hours earlier four the earliest is 4:29 428 but they must be lit before sundown I'm sure you realize and know the custom for woman to cover over her eyes at the time she lights the shabas candles what's the reason for that now it's not so simple it's a question I'll try to explain it the best I can the reason for that is as follows most women don't realize why they're doing it we know mentioned many times before before we perform a Mitzvah before we perform a commandment of God we have to make a special BR we bless God for the great and honor and Merit and privilege that we have to perform one of God's Mitzvah we have to make a br before we do any before before we sit in the Su before blow the Schauer all the Mitzvah that we do before a man puts on in the morning on the Talis you make it BR before the same law applies to lighting shabas candles the woman is lighting the cand thank God thank you very much for giving us this great opportunity and privilege to fulfill the Mitzvah of lighting the shabas candles there's a problem though because as soon as she says she's accepting upon herself shabas it's shabas already you mentioned that you're doing a mitzvah for shabas if it's shabas you're not let light a candle so how could you like a Paradox if you say the BR you're accepting shabas shabas you can't light the candle so what should you do light the candle first and then say the BR but you're supposed to make before you do the Mitzvah so here in the quandry in this problem how should we do it if you make the BR first like you're supposed to then you can't light the CLE afterwards it's chabas if you light the candle first then make the BR can't make the after you did the Mitzvah make before you do the Mitzvah that's why she lights the candles first but to make the BR you cover over your eyes not to get the enjoyment of the light and the pleasure and the the uh uh the the benefit of the light of the candle until you make the BR takes your hands as if now she enjoys the light that comes that's that's Illuminating from the CLE that was lit so therefore you're able to fulfill both problems you light the shabas candles first but you don't derive any benefit from the candle but covering your eyes because the whole purpose of the shabas candle is to is to have light to enjoy the benefit of it but once you cover your eyes so then you're not benefiting from the light of the candle you make the BR and then you take your hands off your eyes now it's as if I lit the candles now because now I'm I'm I'm for the first time I'm enjoying the benefit of the Kindle that's lit that's a reason why she makes the bro after lighting the candle and cuts covers her eyes so according to that comes to the H yam where you lot of light candles you allot to make a fire on yam P you allow to light a candle so according to this reason you should make the first because even he said we have aah to light take upon yourself y you light the Kindle after some people do it that way they don't cover their eyes in y like shabas they make the BR first and then they light the candle but some have the custom not to make a difference between shabas and yam they do it the same way since it's done in shabas that way they y that way also I think most women do it that way because once do the shabas get mixed up shabas you don't Shas do so therefore they shab they make a difference between them but that's a reasoning Accord to the reasoning and Y would be permitted it should be be better to make the BR first and then light the candle because then you're really doing the before the Mitzvah now I'm sure the women light candles have the M they sell by their mothers and grandmothers after light the candles they make motions their hands outward motions circling Motions like this with the candles they make light the candles cover their eyes make a br take the hands off their eyes and they make motions their hands makes outward circular motions with her hands around the candles what's the purpose for that the purpose for that is some people make coming in yeah okay well that's uh that's that the purpose the reason for that also I'll explain that also but the going out outward motions is light spreads when you light a candle over here the light spreads to the whole room just like a dark room have to turn off all the lights and light a CLE light travels so fast you don't even notice it but the light starts from one place and it travels very quickly travels faster than sound but the light starts from one place and travels to the whole room to the whole area shabas which is day of Holiness of kadus a woman lights candles in her home but since a Jewish person takes shabas in their home that spreads the Kusha the Holiness the light that God gives to the world Holiness is light gives people a reason to live a reason to to do what they have to do and not just do it like an animal but they do it because this intellect is dictating to them a purpose in life God gives light to the world through the Jewish people keeping chabas that light spreads to the whole world people don't realize it maybe maybe other Jewish people who are not religious maybe non-jewish people who don't realize it but the whole existence of the the world the whole blessing the world to be able to exist is from shabas because the Holiness of shabas is so great it gives the power and the stamina for the world to exist a whole week spreads shabas the Holiness of shabas spads out throughout the world shabas and for the coming week that's why the meaning is to as if the light is emanating and spreading through the through through the room the kadus and the Hess of shabas and the and the blessing of chabas is being spread around the world through every woman's lighting the candle every person's keeping shabas the ones where the minute to go from the outward to the inward that is showing that we're getting blessings from hem from heaven and is coming towards us keeping shabas and lighting the shabas Kindles God is shining down upon us his face of Joy so to speak and giving us the blessings of shabas coming down to us so he showed God he's sending down this blessing and his light and his Holiness and his Purity it's coming down through lighting the shabas candles God gives us his lighting up his face towards us shining his face towards us that's the reason for the two different uh customs of outward motion or inward motion in the sh when the shabas prayers are said at the time that we say welcome to us shabas the whole congregation turns around towards the back of the sh we usually that's for the doors are people come in and they welcome shabas come to us shabas what's the purpose of that what's the reason for that we mentioned last week and two weeks ago a difference between chabas and yam chabas and the holidays shabas we welcome God to come to our house on yam God welcomes us to his house that's a difference shabas God is a guest by us yam we're guest by him time of the Holy Temple when it was standing in Jerusalem the Jewish people used to leave their homes and go for the holidays to shim to Jerusalem to the Holy Temple the house of God that was the house we used to live together with God in his house shabas we welcome shabas into our home God comes to our home y we go to his house we're guest by him as a matter of fact the great Aral with his the great we call the father of modern Caba today of mysticism Aral was a great Mystic who lived over about 400 years ago and he lived in the holy city ofas and that's Isel anybody anybody before I don't if he went to his to his C to his where he's buried people go there to to pray one of the greatest people of of all times with his students when it came to shabas right before Sundown they used to walk out of the city as if to welcome shabas into this if the great king is coming the great king was coming to the city people walk outside to greet him don't wait for him to come inside and say hello they walk outside with a whole delegation to greet the King used to walk outside the city and as showing that chabas is coming into the city God is coming becoming their guest he's coming to town the great king we said from my M's last week person before shabas should sit and look forward with with expectation shabas is coming to my house God's coming to my house God's coming to my table they used to walk out of the city and G chabas so we don't do that today we live amongst the non-jewish people it's not too practical to do that but we turn around to the door of the sh as if a guest is coming into the sh welcoming the guest welcome shabas coming into the sh that we're praying it of course if you ever come to ur for shabas we do the same we go outside and we go our camp in Ur you ever come for shabat shabas we go outside to greet shabas outside like the old times used to do but that's reason why in the sh they do that when we come home from sh we sing the famous song of shalom shalom I wrote down the number six we sing the song peace be to you the angels of service to God angels from above sent for the king of all Kings the Holy One Blessed Be he this is based on our rabbis tell us when a person comes home from SCH Friday night two angels walk along with him one Angel is a good one one Angel is a bad one he a compet by two angels and both Angels come to his house and if the house is W it should be the shabas table is set the beds are made the food is appropriate for the holy day of chabas the good Angel says let the be the will of God that next week this house should be the same as this week just holy and pure and the bad Angel has to say Amen can't help it since they came into the house and saw such a wonderful shabas house everything the way it's supposed to be every dressed up honor of the king coming to the house God himself is coming to the house is down to the table with us so he says next week this family this wonderful family should be married they should have the same happiness same Joy next week but if they come into the house and the shabas table is not set it's not shabas in the house and everybody's doing who knows what but it's not chabas the bad Angel has the part he wrot should be just as bad and the good Angel has to say a tremendous story I want to tell you over about Shalom may ask first the performance to for us and then I'll tell you this fantastic story we say the four stanas peace be to you number eight uh number seven second s you should come in peace the Angels you should be a blessing in peace the angels and when you leave you should leave in peace those are the four stanas of the sh [Music] oh [Music] for [Music] K my [Music] GL [Music] for for [Music] is go [Music] father for for [Music] [Applause] [Music] say and [Applause] [Music] me [Music] my [Music] my [Music] love [Music] spee [Music] sing another s another another so beautiful [Music] J y [Music] [Applause] [Music] love say [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] I [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] let [Applause] meaning this day is honored from all the days of the week because God rested in this day therefore is most honored day of the week now the story I wanted to tell you about Shalom it was going so good I sing another song it's so nice what they're singing this story happened with me it's a real story true story I was once uh this many years ago one KHAK evening I was walking in a non-jewish neighborhood and I saw in the window electric manura so figured must be Jewish Family naturally electric Mana so so I knocked on the door and they came to the door and I said I introduced myself and uh they're very cordial might come to the house and I said to them to make a long story short how would you like to send your children to Jewish school send Jewish school are you crazy Jewish school we love you here amongst the nations of the world we have any con connection to Judaism all of a sudden send the kids to Jewish school so we talked and we talked and we talked and finally they said okay we'll try it out send Jewish school so they sent the kids to Jewish now Jewish Foundation school and they're very happy children were learning about Judaism to the point that came that they felt that they're living in such a non-jewish neighborhood the kids don't have any friends we have to move to jewi so they moved into I think of Village at time and uh they felt more comfortable kids having Jewish people around Jewish friends but still they were not observant and one Friday night one of the Children looked out the window and they saw people coming back from sh so he said out loud ah they're so lucky they got Angels coming to them the house but we have no Angels coming to our house so the father said what are you talking about father heard him say we Have No Angels coming to our house what are you talking about well told us that the Jewish person goes to sh Friday night two angels come back with them into their house but you don't go to Sho so we have no angels in our house he hit the F like a knife in his heart you heard that got so startled and so take over with emotion hear his children talk like that they all have Angels come you know the Angels come well no need to say the next Friday night the father went to sh and a matter of fact he went from strength to strength became a very Pious person scholar in his own right studied Torah afterwards every day and uh they had a great effect upon story about the Angels coming back in je that's that's what did it in their family that life in this heart we have the Angels come to so later already we should have uh planned this to be a double night of of learning studying but we have in our midst a very pleasant surprise you think we have only talent in artists in playing we have in our midst a very great poet and she has started to write poetry for different occasions different people she's a great talent for that that she wrote a special poem about chabas I'd like you to hear shiffy to say over this poem that she WR of chabas and I think it was very uh enlightened and very touched by po so she come and give us po shiffy we call it for sure called it shiffy call shiffy what for sure welcome to a Jewish home on Friday afternoon you will know a special event is coming soon a frenzy of preparations at a swift pace for tonight in our home

in our nation how we've all been one since creation God Is So near to us on this day we Elevate ourselves in a special way stepping away from the mundine that weighs us down to a sacred place with God and his crown we speak about the Torah it's worse sweet as honey Priceless lessons more valuable than money about our forefathers in days long past the Torah comes alive with a message to last the shabas table is a wonderful time for conversation we relax and loosen up on this occasion with no ringing phone text and email true Pleasant family time can Prevail with the shabas spirit here brings us all close together any differences between us feel insignificant ific as a feather a shabus proceeds twice more we have a meal with scrumptious food and good cheer that we all feel magnificent special prayers we see with pleasure appreciating how God granted us this treasure each JIS me has its exceptional flavor different food songs and significance to savor every facet of shabis raises up our soul another stretch in our mind in our heart and mind it's marked as etch as a sun sun moves across the sky and begins to descend we sadly grasp that chabas will soon be at its end trying to embrace it with all our might another song another prayer we hold on tight we feel so happy and intimate with God at this time in no R to revisit the weekly grind after marive we perform the havdala ceremony dividing the shab's past and week ahead in harmony we make a blessing on the fire Bim and wine separating our soul misses shabas and is not feeling so pleasant it gets enjoyment and comfort from the Bim scent in on Friday night we say the following it is a source of all blessing directly and its laws we keep it will create joy and blessing in our entire week let's all take advantage of this glorious shabas day the warmth of its laws and sweet Pleasures like the sun's Rays it will bring us closer to our father in Heaven above as it is he who gave us the shabas in his infinite love beautiful [Applause] wow well that was very special very uplifting she took away half of my speech but uh look how lat is already well let me just go through it quickly otherwise I have to come back next week and uh finish though uh that's fantastic CH thank you very much really very nice I think you should print it up and pass it out next time everybody should take take it with them I think they'll read it by the shabas table I think everybody enjoy it but we have machine here to run it off I don't know if you okay I'll go through the next this few just to uh finish up the different ideas that number nine the shabas meal is eaten at a different time than the usual time if people usually eat supper at 6:30 we eat the shabas at 6 o00 or 7 o' we want to make it different from the regular dinner that we eat every night so the time has changed even it might be a little convenient but we want to make a a recognizable difference between the shabas meal and the rest of the rest of the week and like sh so eloquently talked about the double that we have the uh remembrance of the man the man that that came down the Jewish people mentioned last week about the 40 years in the desert that they got bread from Heaven the man the Mana and uh every day every morning the man that came down from heaven they had what to eat but a shabas they got double portion so they shouldn't have to go out in shabas to collect the m so therefore in remembrance of the double portion of mon we take the two kalas at night time daytime and afternoon when we have the three sudas the three uh different meals we eat in shabas and each one represents a different chabas there are three shabas that are very outstanding the first shabas when God created the world and he rested that was the first shabas second chabas the Torah was given guess when which day Torah was given to Mount Si on chabas the Second Great significant chabas and the third chabas is the future the Y shabas it's coming up in the end of time will be only shabas only time of being close to hasem those the three shabas that we talk about of shabas of of the shabas of giving of the Torah the shabas of the future and that's we eat the three meals and we celebrate the three shabus of these ones of significance we uh usually start the prayer in the morning of chabas later than we do during the week the simple for reason is because when give us time a little more to to sleep a little bit more shabas is day of pleasure so we don't get up so early down a little later there's another reason for it also but the time doesn't permit to go to the it's a fantastic reason which hope we have opportunity to talk about in the future sometime and I just like to end off before we have a great song coming up number 15 we say one of the one of the songs of shabas shabas the queen is very holy to you he will come into your house to give you a blessing contrary to popular belief people think they'll get a Blessing by working on chabas and making money on chabas but they're making a big mistake shabas will give the biggest shabas will give the biggest blessing in the house more than any blessing possible like we said in the very beginning shabas watch shabas shabas will watch over us and now maybe you could sing for us just one shabas this song is based on our rabbis tell us if all the Jewish people in the whole world would keep one chabas then MH would come Redemption would come and we come to the world to come if everybody would keep one chabas that's what this song is based on it's a wonderful song that you to sing now and I hoped everybody would be inspired a little bit shabas maybe we're not ready to keep the whole thing all of it together all of a sudden a little bit of shabas something maybe Friday night not to drive one day of hour during the day not to drive to light candles before chabas to eat a chabas festive dinner something about chabas to start doing something a little bit to show God that like shii said so eloquently God gave it shabas with love we have to show our love back to him to show that we appreciate the love of shabas that he gave us the last page of the [Music] while out

questions answers any comments or questions anybody like to say tonight here we have a question we want to hear more music and we're being treated so we don't have too much time uh well two two question um one is um the bad Angel is does the bad Angel choose to be bad or is he or or is that uh what generally speaking Angels don't choose okay so angels are created so he's not like he made a bad choice no okay as a matter of fact uh one of the great rabbis of the talmud said to his students you know the Satan and the Satan we call him he's the real bad guy right he tries to get everybody to to sin do bad things and he says he does it in God's name because God wants a person to have a challenge in this world and therefore he created angels to try to PE get people to do the wrong thing and they supposed to stand up to them not do the wrong thing so he said that Satan is not so bad he's just doing what he's supposed to do that's his purpose in life so it said Satan came and kissed him on his feet he said everybody I'm I'm so bad I'm not so bad I'm doing what I have to do finally somebody came and told everybody I'm not so bad so thank you very much he told me okay and the other question is I know some people are very careful during doing during the Liturgy not to repeat words yes um but like with the shabas meos like we we just had tonight um I mean that's it's not like obligatory type of prayer but uh words were repeated um and you know the great C can't just repeat words I mean if you don't say God's name uh many times and you you're doing it for emphasis why is that an issue well it's an issue because when you're in the middle of prayer that you're not supposed to interrupt in the middle you're not allowed to talk so then that's the main per reason why you're not allowed to repeat words because you're interrupting in the middle you said those words already saying it again is not part of the uh of the ding of the prayer itself the songs of shabas you're allot to interrupt in the middle so therefore you're allot to repeat words it's not a problem we not interrupt we start in the middle of we not allow to stop they keep repeating words that's when it comes a problem because not supposed to interrupt in the middle to say words that are not part of the prayer itself I have a question if when the two angels come home to someone's house and it's not the way it should be and one Angel the bad Angel gives the blessing and the other Angel says aain he's agreeing to it then it's very how's it possible the next shabas for the house to be the way it should be if they have to fight against the blessing of of two angels that's a very powerful blessing to fight against well that's a great question that's and the answer to that question is a very important answer because we were created in this world going back to was talked about before to stand up to challenges God put us in this world to test us to see how strong we are in our belief in our observance and keeping shabas and keeping kasas and keeping whatever the Torah tells us to do it's not so easy and when a person lives up to the test so he went through a difficult time and he comes out successful but a person who does not stand up to the test in order for him to fix up what he did wrong it gets harder afterwards God says you didn't live up to the test it was pretty not that hard original test wasn't so hard but you were strong enough you're too weak to live up to that test now it's going to become harder because now you have to fix up the wrong that you did the first test was not fix up any wrong you do anything wrong yet so therefore it's a normal test once you do something wrong then God makes it harder because that's the TRU that's repentance person to do that a person once a person it doesn't keep kosher and gets enjoys non kosher food so much it's much harder for him to keep kosher the person was was brought up kosher because he's not doesn't have any any any will to eat nonos food person who who who who goes against the Torah and does the wrong thing so then it's hard just like we're in Gus Jewish people in the land of Israel they had a lot of difficult times to stand up to the but it wasn't as hard as this now God sent us into Gus into Exile now to keep the torist much harder God says now started because now you have to fix up the wrong that you did I'm making it harder for you to in order for you to raise yourself higher than you were before you did the before doing the sin so therefore it's not impossible to the next week the person still has free choice to make the shabas like it should be but once you get more used to it and more used to doing the wrong thing it getss more comfortable you lose your guilty conscience it gets harder to do but it's not impossible and definitely possible person to overcome all challenges even though it might get harder as you go along what well but Angel angels angels can not okay Angel I I can't right now RAB RAB Min once told us bottom line an expression in the football uh uh they said when the going gets tough the tough get going so if we messed up I mean it's going to get tougher for us but if we got the medal we're got to be tough Jewish people we are tough the guy guy in the office right guy in the office the boss comes and says you know you're not doing your job I want to fire you so if you don't start shaping up and you better do better than the when you first came in you had to do this and this but now if you want to save your job you got to do better than than good so to save your job and once you once you fall then you you have a tougher challenge to bring yourself back to where it's supposed to be when the tone gets tough the tough get going but when the going when the going gets tough tough get going we Jewish people are tough we got what it takes right R men we all got it more than any other nation in the world absolutely we make one more we want to hear more music we'll take one more question Mrs trustman we start dancing soon oh dancing too dance to the sky say over there dance to the sky uh there's one point that uh is listed here and we didn't touch it why do we have to cover theot oh yeah miss that yeah well cover theot because there's a few reasons for that but the most simple reason is because since theot are a membrance of the mon double mon Shabbat and the the mon had the covering over it the do to keep it fresh so we want to remember the miracle of the double mon that God gave and Miracle of covering over the top we the C we last cou as as a crisp on top crisp on the bottom because that's REM of the do on the top and the B that preserved the the M until they came to eat it so we want to remember that Miracle also of the uh the mon that was covered by the D I'm glad you brought that up I was rushing through it I didn't say that yeah yeah but uh but there's other reasons but that's a simple reason yes so maybe we got a nice dancing so all the men come up to in front to dance come to dance [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] t with this that's say what we're singing now those who rejoice in God's kingdom those who keep shabas and keep pleasure in shabas they will be Merit to rejoice in the Kingdom of when he reveals himself in the future all scream out shabas shabas [Music] [Applause] [Music] s
