a good naira of Shabbos everyone it is
not Friday it is air of Shabbos and turn
Friday into Arab Shabbos is generously
sponsored by the Met by Mandy and
support Fishman
memory regular Jonathan Saxon
Arya thank you to the fishmans here
comes that siren let us turn our Friday
into a holy and Shabbos we're going to
get back to the beautiful teaching
but I want to share with you an
incredible teaching a beautiful
beautiful Insight I saw this week from
avram Shore shlita and he says the
following every shop is a special I get
excited for every Shoppers every shop is
unique every Shabbos is distinct every
shop is special no two Shabbat some of
the same each week we read another
Parsha not Parsha that year is different
than the previous year because we're
different than we were the previous year
and every week we had a different week
that was in a different week that will
be and each week we're with different
people and different guests different
menus and different foods each week is
different each Shabbos it may seem the
same it can get monotonous and boring
but that's only if you're living it very
superficially the deeper you go the more
elevated the more real the more Rich the
more in color Shabbos is every Shabbos
is different and distinct and therefore
it is exciting
immediately we would be redeemed what
does that mean it's a board beautiful I
think it's Mordecai and David's song
Just One Shabbos it's two Shabbos and we
all go free what does that mean so we've
shared maybe the two shabbases that we
need to observe in order to be
experience the Redemption maybe their
Shabbos
before the Shabbos after we've spoken
about just a couple weeks ago the two
shabboses are really within the one
Shabbos why
because the Posse says shop Society
tomorrow in the plural every Shabbos is
made up of two shabbases there are the
strict restrictions the 39 categories of
creative labor what we can't do but then
there's the other component of Shabbos
the rest there's the act of malacha of
the Manuka there is the shabbas of
singing of laughing of resting of loving
there's the component that we give and
that we contribute to Shabbos that are
element of Shabbos we can't just keep
the checklist prohibitions restrictions
fearful parts of Shabbos we have to keep
the Beauty and the magnificence and the
flavor of Shabbos maybe that's what it
means the two shabbosem however comes
along of avram sure and he says you know
what two Shabbos as we're talking about
there are two weeks left we just had
rashford Nissan and now there's this the
first Shabbos of Nissan next
then comes on
if we want to Merit to be redeemed in
Nissan and in fact this month we're told
we were once redeemed in Nissan penis
we were once redeemed and we will be
redeemed again and what will bring about
that Redemption we have to speak about
we have to reflect on and we have to
believe in and we have to lean into and
we have to create an atmosphere and be
worthy of that ghoul of that Redemption
how do we do it
by speaking about these two weeks from
Nissan the Rosh Hashanah of malachim of
kabbalah's
we have to work on amuna to see Hashem
and the Miracles around us in our daily
lives to believe that he didn't only do
it then that he is still doing it now
and he will do it in the future the
ultimate Redemption will be reunited
with our loved ones and we'll sing and
dances we bring the Quran pesach in you
shall I am what are the days that we
most dedicate and allocate we're most
focused on talking about and
experiencing and living that emuna
Shabbos so
um
one of the two shabbas we have to keep
the first two shabbases of Nisan leading
up to PESA is sure that is suggestion
he quotes from a grandchild of the
desert coders the rap sir who says
that when beneath trying they told
stories of the time that Sarah emenu you
remember when avram and Sarah went down
to mitzrayim and Sarah avram said this
is my sister and Parow and the people
who followed him wanted to take her for
him and Hashem in a miracle that para
was struck and with illness and released
Sarah back to Avon there were Miracles
when the Jewish people were in mithrayim
they told the story of the miracle of
Sarah and it was by telling that story
that they earned their own Miracle how
does that work so it says this grandson
of the desert sir it says it works
because when there's a little hole but
you keep pushing through it it expands
that expands that expands so when you
tell the stories of previous miracles
we're worthy we earn the future Miracles
when we show that we believe when we
affirm that we have faith then more
miracles come Shabbos is that time that
we tell those stories and how do we do
that so benisan the premium the great
garereba said that in Nissan
when the sun sets on Friday it Shabbos
ready or not here it comes like it or
not here it comes and after Shabbos when
the three stars come out technically
it's Shabbos Shabbos is over but says
we know that we have a concept of
Shabbos that we are able to expand and
prolong and broaden the energy and the
atmosphere and even the laws of Shabbos
as of placam on Friday
uh already earlier while the sun is
still high in the sky that's why now
that we've changed the clock and now
we're in a summer Zone we have early
Shabbos and we have on time or late
Shabbos and the earliest Shabbos is
because we're allowed to do Josephus we
can bring Shabbos in early literally
this we do this each and every other
week each and every week 18 minutes
before the sun sets is when we have
candle lighting in Jerusalem even
earlier than that different communities
have different Traditions how much we
observed josefa Shabbos we add on we
don't wait till the last possible moment
we don't experience it the minimum
amount of time we maximize we expand we
broaden we so love that we sow your
informed we so can't wait for Shabbos
that we take it in early and we
experience it even later we don't run to
make Abdullah at the first possible
moment we don't have admire of 10
minutes before the end of Shabbos so we
can make
exactly when Shabbos is over
we expanded on both ends Friday we take
it in a little early most Shabbos we
hold on to it and we keep it running a
little bit late that is true every
Shabbos all year long but says
he brings the name of his father the
imlayam is
that when we Embrace and love and lean
in when we hold on to and long for when
we want to be together with Hashem and
with our loved ones and with the best
form of us and Shabbos it even overcomes
it even supersedes it erases and
nullifies
this is what the MS writes
even though Shabbos comes Ready or Not
sun goes down on Friday three stars come
out that is the definition of Shabbos
it's happens automatically still we have
the capacity
to add Holiness to the mundane
we could take what should be Friday and
we could turn it into not only erishabas
you could turn Friday into Shabbos we
have the ability on mozai Shabbos to
turn Saturday night into mozai Shabbos
that's what the posix says
that we have the ability to achieve
forgiveness we have the ability to
redefine and reinvent ourselves in our
attitude towards Shabbos in our attitude
towards Shabbos how by not trying to
observe it the least amount of time
we're trying to maximize to not waiting
and wanting Shabbos to be over but
waiting and wanting for Shabbos to begin
by living lives that are Shabbos
essential that revolve around and
identify and Orient ourselves around the
holy the halika Shabbos that experience
that Union with Hashem that special time
with ourselves and our loved ones that
ability to rest physically spiritually
emotionally when Shabbos plays that
Center role and therefore how do we
demonstrate that we love it that we
can't wait for it that we take it in
early that we hold on to it a little bit
late and when do we do that a little bit
more Nissan
what are the two shabbases that we are
observing to hold on to to keep a little
bit longer to keep a little bit late
they are the first two Shabbos is the
Shabbos this Shabbos the first Shabbos
of Nissan the next job is Shabbos
Shabbos uh
these two shabboses are when we do it
and air drive from sure and we'll end
with this
that josefa Shabbos is
we observe we fulfill Tosha Josephus
quantitatively and qualitatively
quantitatively by adding on started a
little bit early ended a little bit late
don't be in such a rush be a rush on air
of Shabbos to take shabbasan early
imagine imagine techshabbison early get
to shul you're waiting for mentally open
a safer you do a little Parish a little
schneid Mick or you prepare the right
Tory you're not in that Rush you're not
scramble you're not making your tie
while you're walking into ashrae imagine
you light the candles early and you sit
down and you read and you learn and you
say tell them and you laugh and you have
fun with the people around you and the
Sun is high in the sky and it's not yet
time for look benching for candle
lighting but you show that longing that
love for Shabbos by taking in an early
so one way is quantitatively
one way is by based on the amount of
time but the other way is qualitatively
Joseph is we add to our Shabbos
experience by preparing and devoting and
experiencing and leaning in further to
Shabbos leaning in further not only the
quantity of how much Abbas but the depth
of how much we experience Shabbos in its
quality and this is the time to do both
so on this first Shabbos of Nissan the
month of the month of redemption that we
long for Redemption individually
personally in our families collectively
as a nation in this first Shabbos let us
experience a josefa Shabbos both
quantitatively and quality qualitatively
this Shabbos
and please God we will experience the
full Redemption of the month of Nissan
have a beautiful Shabbos a holy Shabbos
and a healthy Shabbos
good job
have a great Shabbos everybody there's
the siren go make shadows
