Rabbi Tzvi Sytner - Bring Shabbat Home

you know everybody's saying that we're living in unprecedented times and I believe it's true we are but for many reasons there are things happening all around the world that are totally unprecedented an example of that is this Friday at 6:15 there's something happening that I believe is pretty unprecedented I want to tell you about it but let me give you a little introduction first okay you know one of the things I see happening is that everybody's looking right now for answers people want to know where's this going how Bad's this gonna get what's gonna happen what does tomorrow bring there are a lot of unknowns and so we're kind of tuning in to everything we can we're turning on ABC and NBC and CNN we're reading every single news article listening to every economist and turning on every single talk from every doctor we're listening and turning on everything we can to find answers but sometimes in life in order to find the answers in order to find the piece in order to find the wisdom order to find the tranquility that we want that we're looking for it's not about turning things on but it's about turning things off it's incredible how enlightening silence can be when we begin to turn things off you know we're taught that thirty-three hundred years ago we all stood at Mount Sinai and God said I'm a Shem your God and at that moment it was silent in the world and everybody thinks it was silent because God said hey everybody Shh I want to talk but that's not what happened what happened was at that moment the world quieted down we all turned off and it was silent and when it finally got that quiet in the world in our lives all we could hear was I am Asha I'm your God my friends if you want answers if we want that peace that tranquility it's not about turning things on if I start to turn things off this Shabbos the Jewish people I'm gonna try to get together for an incredible incredible act of unity and an act of connection to the Jewish people to the Almighty - Shabbos itself and what project inspire is doing is they're really trying to bring all the Jewish people together this Friday 6:15 Eastern Standard Time just before Shabbos we're gonna have a talk from Charlie Harare a talk from Brooklyn Koval we're gonna have us a musical entertainment and I want to encourage everybody all the Jewish people to log on it's project inspired calm forward-slash Shabbat check it out let's all tune into Shabbos let's turn off all the noise and let's turn on that connection the tranquility the peace and the answers we're all looking for as we all experience Shabbos together the entire Jewish people join me this Friday 6:15
