this week's turn Friday to our shop is also sponsored in memory of Israel marvelous by his children grandchildren and great-grandchildren our dear friend Israel thank you so much for that also a reminder in the middle of our Global campaign if you benefit if you enjoy if you are in Rich if you are uplifted from anything that the Boca Raton Synagogue it does then please take a moment to express your gratitude join our Global campaign virusonline.org Global do your part we're so appreciative of your help it is not Friday we're turning our Friday into Earth Shabbos the holy Shabbos this week's parasha kisisa talks about the significance the sanctity of Shabbos in fact shamba supersedes the building of the mishkans fasama says because on Shabbos you don't need the mishkan the mishkan is a space where you can feel the intense presence of Hashem and on Shabbos one can immerse themselves find refuge in the immersion of the connection with Hashem the intense feeling of Hashem so what the mishkan provides in spaces what Shabbos provides in time we can find ourselves and we can lose ourselves in Champions but it doesn't happen on its own you can't simply the sun sets on Friday and all of a sudden you find yourself in an uplifting inspiring enriching Shabbos it takes work takes effort takes preparation takes time and that's within our Parsha as well says it says six days do work on the seventh day is don't read it six days we do mundane work on the seventh we rest what work getting ready for Shabbos our whole life our calendar our whole attitude is oriented around Shabbos Shabbos is the makor bracha we don't rest on Shabbos so we have energy to work the rest of the week we work the whole week so we can be rewarded with experiencing a Shabbos six days to work and if we do if we plan and if we prepare and if we get ready then that seventh day will truly be Shabbos will truly bishamas so Shabbos doesn't just come upon us it doesn't spring on us at the end of the week person has to get ready and prepare and be thoughtful and be mindful and invite and get ready and be invested in the experience of being uplifted in Shabbos there are two parts of Shabbos our partial also includes shab Society is plural why does it says two shabbases you should keep a Shabbos why does it say two shabbases there are many answers or approaches to this we may have shared this before the Sava Kabbalah says something I think is so important it's on our Parsha but it's true every single week and every single Shabbos no matter when you're watching or listening to this says the Sava Kabbalah don't just keep one you're not done maybe a person thinks you know a certain mystery they did once in their lifetime they're finished they've discharged it you know just keep Shabbos one time Shabbos is something we keep over and over and over again and similarly the many Shabbos is in a year but more than that within each Shabbos there are multiple shabboses the theme of urban Shabbos there are two shabbases within every Shabbos on the one hand we abstain we refrain you can't do work creative labor comes Shabbos the sun sets Friday we're done stop trying to conquer the world put your to-do list and your tasks and your technology aside be at peace with nature rest be comfortable feel Manuka but the second Ashani Indian yish of Hadas and the second thing is what are you replacing that with if the focus on the energy and the time and the resources are not spent in the mundane so what is filling up our 25 hours who are we what is our identity what are we working on what is filling up our time yes there is the physical rest physical abstaining from work physical taking a nap physically eating but there's the spiritual rest there is the spiritual invigoration there's the spiritual nourishment a nutrition and you have to do both they take both the physical happens on its own Ready or Not the sun sets you got to keep Shabbos Israel 39 acts of creative labor they kick in whether you're ready or not that happens every Friday afternoon but the other part of Shabbos the second Shabbos implicit within every Shabbos in the shab society the second shamas is what do we give to it did you prepare a story do you have a provocative a thought-provoking question do you have guests sitting at your meal what are you going to read what are you going to study what are you going to go with sheer are you going to attend how are you going to feel how are you going to nourish your soul on that Shabbos that second part doesn't happen automatically it doesn't happen inevitably it doesn't happen on schedule we have to be invested and that takes effort that's why the partial says you have to lassos one has to create Shabbos it doesn't happen passively takes initiative takes effort takes planning takes activity we spend so much time invested in the physical in the physical rest of Shabbos how much time do we spend in what are we going to eat what are we going to drink who are we going to have what about the spiritual part what are we going to learn what are we going to read how much time do we put into that says but the two go hand in hand they go together there's an imbalance our equilibrium is off if all we care about and all we're invested in and all we reflect on is the physical part of Shabbos so on Moze Shabbos on mozay Shabbos we've talked about the voice note when you leave that mozash voice note for your family inheritance troll you want to hear how their Shabbos was you want them to hear out yours but the two different time zones means you have to leave a moza Shabbos what do you speak about the food what kind of wine what kind of kiddish what kind of look I am nothing wrong what kind of corned beef what kind of Deli platter what kind of charcuterie board nothing wrong enjoy the Delicacies that's one part could talk about how much love how long your nap was we're about to change the clock I happen to love Shabbos once we change the clock I happen to love a little extra time on Friday turning it into Arab Shabbos and I love a long Shabbos you could learn you could read you could play and you could nap but is that all that we talk about the nap how long was the nap or did we talk about the Visas not only the Goof like two services but One Singular keeping There's One Singular sign the two are directly intertwined um ends with a bang he says that's what it means if only the Jewish people kept two shabbases immediately would be redeemed what does it mean if only we kept two shabbases it doesn't mean which two Shabbos is Shabbos what's the sharpests of the year is it talking about Shabbos braces which two Shabbos are we talking about says it means one calendar Shabbos but if we keep two aspects both parts of that same Shabbos of the one calendar Shabbos immediately would be redeemed so give us Allah we should be we shouldn't just passively fall into Shabba Shabba shouldn't overcome us lazos we should be to create to make to be able to to be able to experience an incredible Shabbos like the mishkan to immerse ourselves in time intensely with the presence of Hashem to keep both parts of Shabbos by keeping both parts of Shabbos happy and the healthies and the holy Shabbos have a wonderful everybody foreign
