Turn Friday into Erev Shabbos #106 - An Anxiety Free Day

good heir of shabbos it is time to turn friday into arab shabbas we do not have our normal music because we are now in the three weeks the time in which we are mourning and grieving and feeling the absence of that wholeness and completion the presence of hashem we don't have the music to lift and stir our soul we have to make the music for ourselves that's the shabbos mirrors shabbos there are mirrors shabbos we sing we don't stop singing the gemara records mahlokas iker shirabapa or ikershira bakley is the core of song what is central to song what we play with our instruments or what we sing what we produce with our mouth icker bepa shabbos we sing smiros we lose ourselves in song and melody and joy and happiness and even in a three weeks even in a time where we cannot listen to music we still can and must produce the music i want to thank our generous series sponsors my dear friends many it's more efficient so support freightl in memory of everyone jonathan saxophone yakuza ben david arya today i want to look at a piece by the beneath sasha the helicopter the holy banay is called the great who wonders the following ancebus even a person who's very careful all week long you don't make him a zonus or hamote a person who doesn't eat carbs or gluten all week long shabbos comes shabba says shabbas we commemorate the miracle of the man shabbos we tap into the two loves of bread and so we have to have at least a minimum we have to bite into at least a little bit of khala and not only do we make hamutsi and we fulfill mishna to commemorate and remember the miracle of the man but after afterwards we bench we thank hashem for the life and in benching on shabbos we have an additional paragraph in benjamin we have an additional phrase we ask hashem that our rest should be pleasant and pleasing to him and with your will hashem you bestowed to us you bequeathed us shalot sarah village we ask and we long hashem please let there not be any pain or anguish let there not be anxiousness or distress this is our day of rest this is our day of relaxation this is our day of peace and serenity and calm hashem let there not be any anguish any aggravation let everything go smoothly let everything go well let there be no tension let there be no conflict let there be no crisis let there be pain-free shalote sarah village it sounds like sunday through friday ah i could live with a stick of sarah yagona it's okay if there's pain and anguish in crisis why are we only dominating for this for shabbos why does it come up in say i would think it would come up for every day of the week it should be part of our normal dominating routine says the holy bible it's not that god created the world in six days rest on the seventh day but the world was in motion in perpetuity it's not that hashem indefinitely enabled creation to continue he created the world for six days the shiv is it was a six day contract it was a six day creation it's a six day world an experiment and then he created shabbos shabbos creates a renewal of the contract each and every weekend hashem renews the contract for six more days and whether it will continue and whether it will renew and whether it will refresh that's up to us and our shabbos it's only mikawa hashabas it is the power of shabbos the rest of serenity in shabbos it is the focus and centrality of shabbos that's what energizes and drives that's what gives power to the rest of the week shabbos is the core the source the seed that nourishes the entire weekend a very beautiful insight he says you know if at the moment of conception the moment of conception god forbid god forbid there's a chromosomal abnormality in the moment of conception there is a a flaw a virus a compromise then it will express itself later at birth it will express itself during gestation it will express itself during development but it all really began when it began when conception when the seed was first conceived in the egg to begin with similarly he says the same is true when it comes to a seed that you put in the ground if there's a problem if the ground doesn't receive the seed if it's not nourished if the seed is corrupted or compromised something is wrong with it it will express itself in something which is wrong with the tree or the sapling however it all begins with the seed and which true mash enkain who is when the seed is healthy and well when it's full and complete it will produce and and create something healthy and well that will be able to fully develop if it has a virus if it's compromised if it's somehow corrupted then it will create something which is incomplete something which has a problem which true in the world of the conception of the seed in the field in the ground in the soil which true in the world of the conception of the seed of life of humanity is also true in time shabbos is the seed it nourishes from it blossoms the entire week our whole week is an extension of the shabbos that we had that's what i'm trying to tell you to hate we ask specifically let there be no crisis no emergency no urgency let there be no tension no conflict no pain no anguish let shabbas be peaceful and serenity let us be energized by it let us spend our time talking and laughing and singing with one another and with hashem and in conversation with ourselves because we need that shabbos we need shabbos he says that only when it is complete and whole and full only when we are ready and healthy then it can drive then it can uplift the entire week that's the attitude that we have to go into our shabbos we have to go into our shabbas with our family with ourselves with our neighbor with our friends that our shabbos meals and our shabbos conversations are not going to deplete us of energy they're not going to leave us feeling regret they're not going to make us question was that the best version of myself that i really need to or want to be talking about those things that i want to be present during that should do the opposite should say ah this shabbos leaves me energized i'm ready to take on the weak i'm ready to face i'm ready to confront whatever comes my way i feel grounded and strong in my ammuna and in my relationships and in my darvening and myself i've experienced biomin a day of rest a rest from the politics and arrests from the differences in divisiveness and arrest from the conflict and arrest from the senate to experience a rest physical and spiritual and emotional because if we experience that in shabbos we could take on the rest of the week and that's why the vanessa says this fila this fila that please hashem why don't we ask spirus from saurabh yogan every day of the week spare us from pain and crisis and anguish every day of the week why specifically and only in shabbos because everything emanates from shabbos it extends and it draws from shabbos it comes from our attitude of shabbos so wishing everyone a serene and tranquil a peaceful and a loving shabbos a shabbos that is free of anguish and suffering a shabbos that is filled with rest physically spiritually and emotionally that we go in mindfully and consciously and that we work with intentionality to be able to achieve such a shabbos a shabbos which is healthy a shabbos which is happy and the shabbos which
