Turn Friday into Erev Shabbos #187 - Pause Before Kiddush

good Arab shabas today is not Friday it is Arab shabas we are here to turn our Friday into Arab a big thank you to our generous sponsors memory of [Music] waiting for good news good news please God shabas shabas should bring with it great great news as we turn our Friday into a shabas Friday we get ready we prepare we play music we wash we sing we dance we cook we set a table we transform our Friday into a shabas and then chabas comes upon us the tells us anyone who on Friday night and says the two angels who walk us put their hands on our head and they say that if in fact we we say the Angels escort us home they put their hands on our head they recite this P that all of our sins should be forgotten and forgiven all of them should be atoned for when the Angels escort us home and they see the table set they see the Delicacies the food prepared they see the is resting they give us this which includes this that includes the fact that we hope we wish we want to be forgiven there's a bigus how is it and when is it that we are forgiven are we Auto forgiven are we forgiven just because we said and because we came home there's a big between the Mah and the T the Taz holds this is all brought down the in the Z who was recently recently passed away the great sa forab fairly new sh he quotes debate between the and the Taz does it only work that when you say the Angels escort you home and give you a and you're forgiven from all your sins when you did chuva they only say you're forgiven when you do Chua when we indeed sincerely repent that's what the T says but the holds even if you didn't do CH if you say three times once in a second time after together the whole seore the community and a third time during KES then then just like we say in the Friday night I three times then the Angels help us be forgiven even if we didn't to CH so who's right the Taz or the what do we follow he quotes Wolfson quotes that in fact a person should be mock to follow the opinion of the T do CH when do we do CH before you Sayes so when you come to the table Friday night sh it's a moment to pause it's a moment to think about the week that was and they let the sanctity of shabas come and to do chuva and made mistakes to ask the people around us to forgive us of the mistakes we made to ask hem to even be willing to forgive ourselves to come to KES on Friday night to come and sanctify this new chabas to enter chabas through the transform through the transformation of chuva to come through chuva to come through chuva K created the world in Six Days on the seventh day he rested and we know the that on Friday night when we say we're testifying we're testifying that hm is the creator of the whole univ but there areas there are laws who qualifies to be a kusher witness and who is who is disqualified a Russ somebody who's Wicked is disqualified from being a witness so how do we make sure that we're qualified to be an aid a k witness so we could sa we could testify that the world was created in six days and we rest in the seventh so that's says a person has to do chuva before saying KES if KES we say and in KES we're testifying is the creator of the universe then we have to do chuva before saying KES why so that we're kosher ad we're kosher ADM we are reliable and kosher were qualified witnesses to testify he is the creator of the universe so it's a beautiful thing to turn on Friday into AR shabas turn Friday night into shabas it's a beautiful Mena gonna practice to instill within our homes which is before Kish everyone pauses for a moment and thinks about something they regret they have remorse they want to improve they want to do better the week that will be to ask forgiveness to forgive ourselves to askem to do CH before KES this idea can be found in our as well says the tells us this par is about regaining Purity how to purify ourselves when we're impure the tells us that person becomes pure on the seventh day the seven days of Purity in seven days there's always shabas shabas seventh day doesn't always fall on chabas when you're calculating p but metaphorically the seventh day the seventh day being shabas how can we become pure the seventh day coming to shabas chabas is the hard reset shabas is the reboot chabas lets sign forgiveness forgiveness for ourselves forgiveness for others forgiveness from Hashem but it takes effort takes mindfulness so this is a new practice to instill a new custom in our Friday and turning it into a shabas is to get ready to be thoughtful and mindful of what we could have done better differently the week that was to ask for that forgiveness to come and on the seventh day come and try to be pure it's not just another week turns into another shabas into another week and the weeks pass into months pass into years and it's all blending together but every shabas is a new beginning a fresh beginning every chabas is a reboot and a fresh start every shabas is M the source of blessing every shabas the seventh day we can become pure but it takes the mindfulness and it takes the effort forgive yourself forgive others ask hasem for forgiveness ask others for forgiveness to come and to purify to do cha before saying Kish qualified as kosher what a beautiful idea what a beautiful practice we should all be we should all Merit to be able to fulfill it and to experience the Purity the sanctity of shabas and therefore to tap into the BR of shabas this is our last turn Friday into ER of shabas for a little while we're taking a break till after Tish you can find all the other ones online on any
