Parshat Vayakhel: Do you Believe in the 7 Days of Creation? - Rabbi David Kaplan

[Music] okay so Parts Part C says like this but yeah kill motion has caught us with a Silvio Marley a lad very matured Sivaji unless also something so like a review of the command of the of the Mishkan and mostly gathers the Jewish people and the first thing again is shisha Samim tale some a local biome I see you look at McCoy - Chaves Chaves unless I'm co-host of Allah who you must first again before the beat we saw this once before you got the Michigan and the Michigan is preceded with the command to keep Shabbos because at the end of the day in case you think that the Michigan is a important endeavor which it is but always Chavez is more important no matter what you're gonna do Shabbos the more important this is also we just somebody mentioned to us on air of Shabbos so does he get these people who are always you know their eyes the scramble for Shabbos you know people are traveling an air of Shabbos they're flying an air of Shabbos and then next thing you know they're always caught in a blizzard somewhere in upstate New York that's how the story always ends no matter where they are you give me in Kansas City and you can be in Kentucky but somehow the blizzard always it's in your eye stuck in upstate New York and a blizzard and there you know for Shabbos it tried to go from Flatbush to Muncie and you left yourself 20 minutes and somehow you got caught in a blizzard in upstate New York you then you got scrambling for what you're gonna do for shops and so on and so forth we don't do that you don't first of all you don't travel on air of shoppers after consoles and you don't get thank you very much or and you don't get yourself cut Sosa's the halfway point the halacha halfway point of the day for example today today pet sews is at 12:40 for 12:40 1244 12:45 is usually right around the halfway point of the day Erev Shabbos you got to go traveling Erev Shabbos its Shabbos a way Travis is serious business what if the car breaks down what if the bus is crowded and you didn't get on the bus we kind of sort of air travel as well many people don't you don't you don't fly on Fridays you could fly a Thursday I've flown to New York on Thursday night you'll leave here Thursday night at midnight you get into New York at five o'clock in the morning so you got plenty of time to get to where you're going and if the plane you once the plane takes off don't think you know you're here you're gonna unless the plane has that make an emergency landing in Iceland in your step stuck in in in Iceland over jobs are that's rare but if you know the plane is landing an hour before Shabbos you don't get on a flight where the plane is landing an hour before a shop until you get out of the airport until you get to the wedding go up there you make it all the way through what kind of business is that we're what happened to shop in shop here people are so so meticulously careful about other hellos you're careful about your estro getting careful about about your tefillin straps and you're careful even about things that are not even holding rows you put on a gargoyle whatever it is that you do the Shabbos is a dough right so what do your kid sling around with showers for they don't know I could walk I have to give I'll get a cab driver and he'll carrying all my stuff that you know all the all the days of the situation of people yet so the first thing is you're building the Mishkan no matter how important the Michigan is with chávez precedes it but Shh semm tell some a loss of six days and not on the seventh day and Shabbos has to be related with the with a certain a certain uh what do you call a certain severity that a person doesn't tamper or play around with Chaves number one number two you'll notice it says take us anxious you mean take us and if you actually translate the word tale so in Hebrew what is it what does take us are really translate to six days yeah see if you want to translate as you shall do it's a station so I mean tassa you shall do what does tell us they're really really translate to what stay us are really translate to translate the shame shall get done che che I mean take us a moment it shall get done in other words why do people not why do people work on each other you and I somebody's got people who have a very very difficult test they they work on Shabbos where they work on Shabbos because they're worried about their paranoia if I close my store in jobs I won't ever know so there's only one way to create the attitude where you're willing to risk it which is teh osa see it is being done already Shh semm teh awesome Malacca so I said when I had a bit when I had my business when I have a united pizza shop when I was when I was that as a part owner of a pizza shop shabbos would come around there's that the shop could burn down there's nothing I could do about it there's absolutely nothing you can do about it gives you a certain psychological separation for me doing okay if you're in a medical profession so then you'd be able to be on call on Shabbos sometimes that's a little trickier if you're a businessman there's very little you could at your shop could be on fire unless it's a life-threatening situation there's nothing you can do but just you know wave to the pizza you know yeah yeah you know some roasted pizza that's a roasted cheese you know maybe what it was a cola a cheese fondue your whole shopping in a foundry just stuff that's why you could lose nothing you could do if it's burning and it gives you a certain psychological relaxation that there's nothing to do by the way I'm completely detached from my business but the only way we're able to do that if you believe Shh this yummy meat a awesome alkyl number when it's done it's completed or your work is done six days that's it you're finished and that's all you've got to do it number one number two that you have to internalize the idea that that it's that it's all coming from a culture or coming from our quarters were cool anyway stuff is coming from what cutters working what are you worried about because we're the same God that gave it to you the same God that says close up for Chavez right that's the test that that's why I told you many times the test of a Jew the line that determines whether a Jew is what we call if you call is he a religious Jew or now so today is he religious how did determined via religion see number into restaurant what they've never seen a meat he never sighs it's filled on how do you know if somebody's a religious Jew the line in halakhah is does somebody keep Shabbos country anxiously makes the effort at least we all mess up once in a while that's why you walk in the bathroom is that old oops right never had the bathroom oops oops then somebody to get the double oops oops oops get it double loops today oops right and even once in a while you may do something that you're that you really should be doing any do it but generally you're in known in the community as a conscientious Shabbos observant Jew you are considered religious you can be counted in a minyan and everything is your you're a fully you're a member to club if you keep every allahö you eat only the strictest x-ray room you never talk loshon hora your trilling is is polished black on both sides but you do not conscientiously keep Shabbos you are not a you're not considered religious ship with the whole logic ramifications you can't be counted in a minyan by the bike by the letter of the law Biddy Allah certainly not look at Kela the wine you touch becomes donessa even lost the wind is the bushel and so on the sofa Shabbos is always aligned to her I remember growing up we refer to somebody is he shomer Shabbos is he showing up my wife told me when she was growing up she'd say to her mother when they meet so she said mommy could we eat in their house my mother Roy's Seder we weren't invited so don't worry about it you know there that was her response but we don't look at the food you could have a guy who eats tray feeds shark heats all sorts of trick but he keeps Shabbos he count them in a minute that's the life okay now I'll show you something else over here first of all first of all if you go take a look from well mostly gathers the people and he says in the last bus agimo low Severo asia bahamas oh say from yama shops are not Kindle a fire and all of your dwelling Sun showers there's a very famous Hasidic idea here most of ROH McComas a cumbia showers is that you shouldn't get angry on Shabbos and since Friday preparations is a lead-up to Shabbos that's certainly included in it it's probably the most one of the most vulnerable parts of the week is Erev Shabbos from Jewish women are nervous on Erev Shabbos no matter how many times you tell them don't be nervous they're nervous and one of the reasons they're nervous because all on them at the end of the day this becomes it that's there is got to get Shabbos made they got to make the food no matter what the husband is doing sometimes husbands will experience the husband's are running around shopping doing the wife is it and he knows I'm doing everything on my own after running around half a day every day you work it like a slave and I'll say wife just says you know I just feel like I'm all alone over here [Laughter] and everybody's running around like I like it like I just feel like I'm on my own over I'd see one out of your own is give me a credit card bad girl I'll say when I so is everybody yeah okay but she's got a lot of pressure now because she's got pressure you've got pressure and your we always tell young husbands young meaning anything up to the age of about ninety don't take don't take anything she says personally inner of Shabbos you'll under a lot of pressure so a lot of strength don't take it personally she doesn't mean it the other just man up and just ignore it don't get into one of those oh yeah I mean which usually ends with while your mother's got a big mouth you know they'd love to do it it's not it's not it's not relevant here's nothing to do that she's under pressure now because it's such a volatile period it's such a delicate period come to store it says and is especially there's a special Sutton there's a special force trying to get us upset an air of shadows therefore there's as elusive Irish don't let the fire the flame of anger burn and Shabbos or the flame of dispute the flame of dispute is also something that's very relative you know why why why are we more likely to enter into disputes arguments bickering and Shabbos very simple reason Jonah very simple reason know we're around people during the week during the week you're out of the house at Shabbos you're with your family no would you cut it everybody have you been in Chaves table the other kids kids sitting around the table before as they pour the grape juice he got more than me right I want to sit next to the iBot I chose this that next time of this week and again and you're off to the races you know and then before you leave and you're trying to relax you know even before you even you even get there there's already you're already dealing with all of this and you're with the family and most men are not used to being around because the kids are screaming shapes wing from chandeliers and the wife isn't doing anything and their husbands are you know don't you does that bother you what you know well he's pulling her hair and she's screaming oh yeah that goes on all the time yeah but not when I'm I'm sure cuz you come home at midnight there is sleep what do you think and for men it's very you know you know I've got a DVAR Torah to say at the Shabbos they but I want them to hear my pearls of wisdom right and the kids are interrupting they're spilling their DNA getting there things are out of control be careful you around the family on Shabbos just relax that's why it's important make kiddush as soon as possible I always tell people sit down to the table make kiddush start just start and the kids will come to the day will knock down a cup of wine knock down a second cup of wine the screaming sounds like music everybody's good you know I just just just just get that mood change as fast as possible and deal with it this was alluded obviously sent to play meaning it's not to play meaning but the Torah the the the is what's called a Ramos [Music] [Applause]
