The Purpose of Every Shabbos — and the Greatness of This One

Shabbos is my brocha. By the way, the holy mess you in shmini says the Zohar that the brocha of Shabbos is not only for Shabbos itself but it's actually shpira for the week, the coming week, the six days that come after Shabbos are all coming off the brocha of Shabbos. The swarm explain Shabbos Gadol before Pesach >> [snorts] >> because that's the Shabbos before Pesach that is shpira on Pesach. We know it's the nest that brought us the moon. So it's the moon of Nissan of Shabbos that's shpira for Pesach to be able to have a proper Pesach. To be able to get the moon from the layla seder, it's all with the brocha of Shabbos Kodesh before Pesach. The same is also Shabbos Shuva. One of the reasons it's called Shabbos Shuva, Shuva it's the time to do Shuva. It's really all the days of Shuva. But what gives us the keeper to do Shuva is with the Shabbos before. Shabbos is my brocha. But the brocha is not only brocha that we get on Shabbos, it's the brocha for the days after Shabbos. The whole week coming after Shabbos gets its brocha from the Shabbos. This Shabbos, the Shabbos before Shavuos which is usually parshas Bamidbar. In many swarm it's called Shabbos Kallah. Different names for the Shabbos. It's the Shabbos like a Shabbos kallah of appearing for the wedding. Every Shabbos, every Shabbos, like we spoke in a previous clip, Shabbos is to learn Torah. Different midrashim about it, the purpose of Shabbos is a person could unplug and learn Torah. Being that this week, this coming week, a bolainu letova is Shavuos, zman matan Torah seinu, and like it's mevoran Chazal that we have the kabolas haTorah every single year, to be able to properly be zoycha to get the kabolas haTorah of the Shavuos ha bolainu letova, we need to make sure and utilize this Shabbos. It should be mekor ha brocha in the sense of being able to get the kabolas haTorah of Shavuos. Just like Shabbos shuva, a person is supposed to utilize the Shabbos more than a regular Shabbos in doing chuva, Shabbos ha gadol and emunah, this Shabbos, the Shabbos before Shavuos, let us try to be mechazek in the purpose of Shabbos, of every Shabbos kodesh, to learn. When we don't work, we have time to connect to the Ribono shel Olam belimud haTorah. And with that, Shabbos will be mekor ha brocha, like the Zohar says, it's mashpia on the days of the week. It'll be mashpia on this coming Yom Tov of Shavuos, zman matan Torah seinu, to be mekabel the Torah. Have a wonderful Shabbos.
