Inspiration for Shabbos!

[Music] shab tells us a remarkable thing every a of shabas Hashem sends mosu to give each and every one of us a gift theor says that gift shabas sh it's called shabas M comes to each one of us we don't see him but somehow he's coming to each one of us to give us a gift in order to understand the Beauty and the gift of shabas what we really have to understand is what the word sh shabat actually means shabat does not mean rest shabat actually means to cease how does this idea of sensation help us understand the beauty of chabas and how can it enhance our chabas K kidush or if you literally want to translate it sanctification at the beginning of Shabbat we take a glass of wine or grape juice and we make this moment into a holy one and we stify this 24 25 hours until have the until we'll do literally separation we finish this day of Holiness it's the beginning of Shabbat by shabas we have something that's called cabala shabas it's not B we don't have by other Mitzvah there's no cabus shab shabas is a gift and a person has to know how to receive a gift so where do you go to receive this gift how do you receive the gift of shabas how and God created the world in the beginning of saer bous paric Bas chapter 2 it tells us keep God ceased from all the work that he did shabas is the gift of sensation and sometimes with all the hecticness of life and all the noise in life it's so hard to make space for K it's hard to hear the voice of God when our voices are when our heads are so busy comes along and he says my children shabas is a gift it is the gift of sensation and when the world around you ceases and is quiet there's room for me Hashem in your lives so I'll share with you a tiny little story there was a market that was going on it was very busy and rabman of bre RAB bre was sitting by the window and he called in a Jew that was running back and forth it was a busy day and he called him in and asked this fellow tell me something did you look at the sky today he said what he said no so said come with me and they went to the window and RAB said what do you see he said I see horses running wagons I see people running back and forth rabim said 50 years from now they're going to be different horses different people you and I are not going to be here so I ask you again did you take a moment today to look at the sky when the gamarra tells us that that you have to go out to receive shabas cabal shabas it doesn't mean that you have to move someplace it means that you have to look someplace else you have to look at the sky to look outside of that small place of pettiness of jealousy and to look at something bigger than ourselves and to receive shabas when we make kidish when I look at my husband the kids the guests family friends it's a moment of in a way stopping the the to stop the storm outside I try to look look at that moment in a way of maybe mindfulness I'm a well-known workaholic and I'm not so spiritual usually but this is a moment of moment of looking at the six days we had from Sunday to Friday trying to live it out in a way an elevator that can Elevate you take you to a new floor right now to a new level in your life take 30 seconds when you're preparing for shabas on Friday when you're lighting candles when you're dingal when you sit down to the Friday night meal whether you're alone or with friends or with family when you make kides and just think Hashem what is the gift of shabas it's the gift of sensation the world around me ceases to be and it's a day for me and you Hashem to be together even Hashem can take take one day rest for one day so for sure workaholic like all of us I guess we can also do it your shabus will be enhanced your connection to Hashem will be enhanced and will be will Merit to welcome the Beautiful shabas the shabas queen into our home and into our lives wish you all B shabbat shalom thank you so much I wish us all from Shalom we're ready to receive shabas we're ready for cab shabas I wish each and every one of you a wonderful [Music] Shout
