Turn Friday into Erev Shabbos #178 - The Big Shabbos

good of shabas today is not Friday it's shabas it's it's shab and this song comes from what a song what a singer we're waiting for br we want boundless endless BR Soros toos hostages come home soldiers return to their family want to thank our is generous [Music] we want die endless not but endless in our lives we're ready to turn Friday into Arab shabas today is not Friday we are getting ready it is not an ordinary shabas no shabas is ordinary a shabas is special in its own right this shabas is a big shabas in fact it is called the big shabas and whenever you're listening to this it's relevant the lesson the message is always relevant whether you're listening the week of shabas or not I want to share with you an Insight of the Shalom not on the but on P and he quotes the following the truth is that every single shab in many ways is because shabas is called God it's considered great and it's considered to be holy shabas this every chabas is great this is the greatest of the greatest the greatest of the great this is the biggest chabas this is shabas a g not just because the rabbi goes on and on and on and doesn't know when to end and the Dr it takes forever that is not the reason it's called shabas a the original shabas a is because the courage and The Bravery CLA Isel showed on the tenth of Nissan setting aside the deity the god of our enemy and and slaughtering it showing faith in Hashem but the sler has a different perspective and it's an insight into all shabas and this shabas particular why is the shabas called the Great shabas of every shabas is a great chabas so he says the tells us in if the Jewish people of only observe two shabas immediately would be redeemed and we've shared many interpretations maybe this really means one calendar shabas but the two components of shabas there is the Z and sh in every single shabas there is a duality a dual shab two shabas there are the 39 creative labors we abstain from we refrain from there's what we don't do and then there's what we do do but there's another element every shab has in it there's an awe and a reverence and a respect that hem is great and I'm nothing I recoil in his presence but there's also an Ava he's my father he loves me and I love him him there a closeness and a connection an affection and an intimacy Remember shabas The KES the candles Theos the Tor the singing transform the energy of chabas that's Z that's love affection connection cuddling with but abstain refrain 39 category of creative labor don't do stay away boundaries respect awe reverence that's and that's sh every shabas has both components AV and z and Sham shab two shabas but there are also two chabas of the Year says the the two shabas of the year are shabas and shabas sha you know not that long ago rabbis didn't Dar they didn't give a Dr a sermon every single chabas Once Upon a Time some people maybe wish it was this way still now rabas is rabbi's only gave sermons twice a year the two big shabas were shabas the shabas before Yumer between rash and Yumer shabas the shabas before P says as sler shab is shab is is why because the shabas before we know all of the energies of the week to come all flow from they come from the shabas that precedes it so the shabas before a yff the shabas before a holiday the shabas before a special day already contain the energy the potential the power of what is to come afterwards so shabas sha which is the shabas before yum Kipper is already setting the stage it's already the energy it's already the mindset it's already the personality of yum Kipper and yum Kiper is all about it's awe and reverence we're going to come before the judge are we worthy are we worthy how are we accountable how much respect and reverence do we have so the shabas before is shabas shua it's a shabas of Y of recoiling of boundaries of respect of awe of deference of reverence shabas is the chabas before PES and that so Monday night Tuesday Wednesday next week is gonna be p p is all about Hashem expresses love saved us he stepped in he intervened on our behalf he saved us he bailed us out he loves us he connects with us he cares for us so say if only we'd observe two shabas we would immediately be redeemed what are the two shabas shabas and chabas and a if we would only show in every chabas we would have these two components but in these particular shabas we have a big focus on these on these ideas and that's why this shabas is called shabas why is it called shab which is a greater way of connecting and worshiping what is the greater Paradigm of the relationship withm all reverence fear or AA love affection connection the answer is AA he doesn't quote this but the ran writes we have a principle a positive commandment supersedes a negative commandment why says the ran because positive Commandments mitz say area their love the negative Commandments are or awe or fear of course it begins with it begins with has to have a Baseline and a has to have a foundation of awe and reverence and then you build upon that love and affection but the greater the higher the loftier the aspiration isid so this is shabas this is a chabas that is defined by Love by so this is the of some people are tired been cleaning and shopping earning money to spend the money on PES but this is a shabas that there's always but the chabas is filled with a love and positivity and excitement and anticipation and energy we're getting ready we are getting ready to be taken out K is going to liberate us emancipate us he going to free us from our our whatever is constricting us restricting us whatever is holding us back whatever we're addicted to whatever we can't stop binging on whatever impulse we're following pes's coming Freedom this is the shabas a the pesak will be determined by shabas the chabas that precedes dictates determines sets the tone for what is to come so it's shab God in the sense of AA it has to be tremendous love so we're turning our Friday into a of shabas turn Friday into shabas by adding a lot of love love love should permeate the home make the phone call your parents your grandparents your siblings don't wait till of PES shabas is a good enough reason is AA in the home light the candles with love welcome in the energy the atmosphere in sh will find people go say chabas it's chabas a and God is defined by love takab shus of God may it be filled with love may it be filled with salvation may it be filled with Redemption bring the good news for believe [Applause] [Music]
