[Music] everybody welcome back to turn friday into arab shabbos big thank you to our series of sponsors back in boca right now mandy and super fishman thank you as always for your incredible generosity here comes that siren here comes that holy shabbos we can't wait the halal gehenna there is shabbos is coming and we are here to turn our friday from a friday into an area of shabbos what is the difference between a friday and an air of shabbos our whole life our whole week everything revolves around shabbos code that we last left off in the wonderful new safer by richard meyer about menuha what is rest shambhas is rest i know i need to rest the shabbos and so do you we can't wait and we count down and what is that what does that menuha look like what does it mean to rest on shabbos is that how many hours we can sleep how many magazines of books we can read how much food or wine we can consume all of those are lovely and nice and enhance our shabbos but which is not physical or skin deep or superficial not a manuka which is external but a manuka which is internal a manuka in which we have a serenity and a peace and a closeness and a connection with you a menuha arrest from the worry and the anxiety and the fear and the competitiveness of the weak arrest of relying and leaning in on you and nullifying everything that comes in between i saw this week ravram shore in his nasir aparsha writes very beautiful in our pasha kisavo one of the things the torah god holds us accountable for is takas because we don't serve hashem with simcha with simcha we have the capacity so we're going to talk about that anchovies here at brs but mero of call the end of that passage with the goodness and the glass and the heart may row of coal more than anything else ola begematria hashabas that adds up in gamatra numerical value is the shabbos when you look forward to shabbas you shouldn't look forward to work and exhaustion and effort and cleaning you shouldn't look forward to passing out and disconnecting certainly shouldn't look forward to type of shabbos in which one will imbibe so many substances they won't even remember that shabbos it's not an escape shabbos is not an escape or an excuse shabbos is when we are more connected hyper connected only to what matters a true and a genuine manuka because when we do this i can't wait i can't wait to learn torah i can't wait to dive in slowly without anything buzzing or beeping in my pocket i can't wait to sing this mirrors and sing songs i can't wait i can't wait to sit at the shabbas table and have conversations that catch up on that week i also can't wait to catch up on some sleep and some reading but the simcha basil when we wait for him we long for and we live for the shabbos that's what we say those who say the reborn of simcha it's a beautiful song too we should merit to be macabre don't enter and come into shabbos through sadness oh another job is in more work and i can't believe i have to host or i have to go or i have to sit and shul or i have to disconnect from technology we don't come from sadness we don't come from despondency we don't come from disconnecting but rather was i came to the cabin ah the atmosphere right before you light candles put on some music have a dance right before you go to shul put on a smile mitocho of simcha makable shabbos put on that paneer shabbas and the kabbalah put on that shabbos ponder and that joy and that excitement the shabbat should be the source of simcha whatever is going on in our week and there are people real struggles real challenges whatever is going on whatever there is to do whatever you have to catch up on whatever is happening this is rabbinic tax season believe me the second shabbos ends tomorrow night slikhos into barak hashem a packed sunday into air rosh hashanah shah was like go there so much to do but you know what it's waiting thereafter shabbos shabbos can't wait first for shabbos shabbos to be fully immersed in and fully integrated with and fully connected with we have replaced our priority of manuka menuha all the things that were meant to enhance and supplement and complement real manuka the food and the drink and the schluff and the reading they've taken the place of the real manuka the real menuha is to feel a moon and vegas to nullify our sense of self our yesh and to direct it all to hashem we've spent one day of the week with you my nishama is yesera it's on fire it's on fire i don't mind a little bit longer davao i mean disconnect i'm connected to the parsha and your message what you're saying to me when hashem is on fire with this mirrors and the song the manuka it's a manuka that's ms ms it's a menuha it's not false and fake and short-lived it's a manuka which is ms which i take with me the whole week and that's what which meyer writes about this great light that illuminates on shabba is this incredible powerful force that's given on shabbos to the souls of the jewish people will he dawg both to clinton liz batali love to nullify ourselves to him ain't an interact bashabas yes all week long you could live with a heightened ammuna all week long you could be plugged into you says they have the attitude the perspective the personality of shabbos all week long however or hashabas is we have 39 categories of creative labor that we are refraining abstaining from we are 39 categories of creative labor that we are at peace with who are timid this is our effort this is our mission to search and to seek to find his presence to lean in on him to be
