Okay, good morning everyone. Hope everybody is doing well. I want to bring to your attention something very uh significant about this shabas. Many uh are aware that this shabas of course is the shabas right before sh. But this shabas actually has a special name, a specific name. Namely, if you look in this form of for example in the safe which is a collection of the whole first section of his dr of iso for shabis kala drushe shabus kala. What do you mean douche? What is shabas kala? The answer is shabas kala. Is this shabas? He has many many drasha. It's an entire section, hundreds of pages, um, one drussia after another on on, um, on the significance of the shabas before shuis. Actually what's interesting is to be precise not hundreds of pages 53 pages the as well in his safer he has for shabasala the shabas before is called shabiscala why is it called shabascala and this just highlights a dimension of the umptiff of that it's very important to be aware of namely that you know we think gave the Tory to the Jewish people and it's a body of laws. It's obligatory. These are punctilious details that we have to think. But there's an entire another element of kabal satra and that is kabal satra is akin to a wedding between andas where is the groom andal is the kala is the bride and we've spoken about this um at length many many times that the lis that hashem gave uh clal was like the KF kadushian that was like the money of that Hashem um did kaducian to cla Israel or some say that the bizim was the kfv that hashem gave to claw Israel the that hari was literally a that suspended over our heads to uh to consummate the marriage and in fact all the minhagim of and kala are learned out from kabal whether it's the fact that the andala fast before their wedding. The fact uh the the midhug of holding torches, walking down the kala, the midhug of breaking the glass under the ka is to commemorate that at the very first kaducen when hashem married us with uh with the lis the lis were broken. The reason the main reason why we break a glass at a is to commemorate the kaducin that made with kess. It's interesting even points out the reason why we say which is out of order. First and then is because when Hashem married Israel first he gave us kadush which was shin then he did he suspended the mountain over our heads like a barrel but then the kaducin was broken because the were broken. So, Hashem had to give. So, in reality, first came the and then came the kaduc. So, to commemorate that we say that is why that is why of this week's para we learn from the So we is telling I will marry you to me. In other words, this is referencing the fact that is an actual wedding. And therefore, as we began with this Shabas has a very special name. This Shabas is called Shabas Kala. As we know the shabas before a wedding for is called the shabas kala and that's why and the refer to the shabas as shabas kala. So the as we say you know um the party begins already this shabas this shabas is already the beginning of the simka. So you know we have to look at it as a as an actual wedding. And this shabas is of course the shabas kala of kess to okay one more coming up. Recording stopped.
