The reason why Chazal explains to us that Shabbat is the foundation of emuna is because.. where do we learn that it was a big emuna test to follow Shabbat or not, where.. where's the big test? The manna bread. When Hashem gave us manna, gave us food from Shamayim He gave it to us for six days. He said on Friday. I'm giving you double portions so you don't go collecting on Shabbat Don't go collecting any food on Shabbat. Whatever you have on Friday will be enough for Friday and for Saturday. So you can enjoy the Shabbat, not worry about collecting food or parnassa or anything I'm gonna bring it to you all the way to your house Now in Parashat [Ha Man המן] chapter 16 of the book of Exodus talks about how we got this manna but also talks about how we fail the test some of us and we didn't listen, we're greedy, we didn't have enough emuna. We weren't sure if we're gonna.. the manna is gonna be enough. So we went out anyway to go see if there is more manna. Maybe somebody is extra hungry for סעודה שלישית‬ [Hebrew for third meal]. Maybe it is not gonna be enough we have not any emuna in HaShem, so they went out and HaShem says to Moses How long is it gonna be that you violate my Shabbat? How much longer do you want me to tolerate these people that are going against my daughter How long!? What do we do? We went lit fire, we went burnt cars, went shot guns, what do we do? They went to collect food! Desecrating Shabbat, you have no emuna and this is why This [.. ] for parnassa for each and every one of you, if assuming you keep Shabbat, you don't keep Shabbat It's not gonna help you Don't keep Shabbat Not one of your prayers will be accepted by HaShem, is what we read already from Shlomo HaMelech Shlomo HaMelech says to us Someone who doesn't follow what the sages say that is to follow the Torah, even as prayers [..] HaShem.. that considered disgusting to HaShem When you don't keep Shabbat. I can't help you. You have to try to keep Shabbat Don't watch TV, stop sitting at it the very least. Synagogue later on.. Kidush later on, all the other things that are hard for you maybe later on, at least stop sinning, stop driving on Shabbat, stop watching TV, stop ripping paper. Basically, it's not a big deal, sleep the whole Shabbat if you can. Just stop violating it. Eventually you gonna start being a Talmud Chacham, you're going learn Shabbat, you can honor at Shabbat, you going eat on Sabbath, going sing at Shabbath you can turn it to the best part of your week But at least for now stop sinning, stop being the enemy of HaShem ! Then if you do that then in [..] will really help you, what's this [..] ? This is [..] not from me, this is from one of the stories of Gadol Menachem Mendel [..] [...] Who said, this also precedes than before even, Anyone that reads the Parashat [..] Exodus 6 chapter 16, from verse 4 to verse 36, the whole story of the manna bread. The whole story of the manna bread when HaShem brought us, we complain to HaShem, "we need food" Moses and Aaron says [..] We are nothing, why are you complaining to us? Go complain to God you haven't any food, why complain to us? We decide you have food..you have food? God says [..] and a give them food. I give them the manna bread. I gives them food from ShaMayim for 40 years And it tells the whole story of approximately 30 verses of this story of what happens if the people violating Shabbat not having any enuma, going to collect food Says you read this part. This is one chapter in the Torah. You read this every day And this is [..] for parnassa And why is such a significant [..] for parnassa? Because this is the only thing you're allowed to read for parnassa even on Shabbat You're not allowed to pray for health on Shabbat, your not allowed to pray for parnassa on Shabbat Shabbat is pure thank you HaShem. But this my friend, this is verses from the Torah You're allowed to read at Shabbat and it is [..] for Shabbat, and it is [..] You do this every day, it works. I know for a fact. So HaShem All of these things that are a little scary but also a little bit encouraging. We will shed some light on our Shabbatot. We'l give us an idea of what Shabbat really is.
