Turn Friday into Erev Shabbos #120 - Leaving Shabbos Different Than the Way You Entered

foreign there is the siren it is time to get ready for Shabbos time to get ready for Shabbos we last left off we were talking about mozai Shabbos Begins by telling us the first thing to think about to work on is mozai Shoppers we tend to think air of Shabbos is Friday maybe Eric Shabbos is Wednesday I'm not sure you know maybe Arrow Shabbos is Monday but really Arrow Shabbos begins to shop it's right after havdella we are preparing right after Abdullah we are counting down counting up towards the Shabbos that is to come the name says the mission and the Mandate and the charge and the effort of is to take and collect all the light of that Shabbos in other words my friends as we're going into the Shabbos think to yourself not just I'm going to let momentum Carry Me Through Shabbos ah can't wait to catch up on sleep and there's so many books I want to read and learning I want to do and songs I want to sing but then it'll just be a blur by mozai Shabbos I'll put on my motorcycle shabba's outfit I'll do my mote Shabbos activity I love my mozai Shoppers date and by Sunday Shabbos will be a distant memory in the rear view mirror it will be forgotten and I'll move on that's not the way a yid that's not the way a Jew experiences Shabbos the way we experience Shabbos is that we save her Shabbos the way we experience Shabbos is that we extract from Shabbos everything that we can we take out of Shabbos everything we take out of Shabbos all of the light we take out of Shabbos all of the all of the Holiness we take out of Shabbos all of the enrichment elevation everything that we can and then it transforms us we leave shabba's different than the way we came in so today on Friday on air of Shabbos we had one kind of week where one kind of person we made a whole set of choices but by the time we go through Shabbos when we go through this shop it's a unique Shabbos because every Shabbos is distinct and it is unique the conversations will have the feelings that will have the davening that we'll offer the songs that will sing there's miros everything will be different when we listen to the divitorah and the drushas when we share our own the conversations that will stimulate and provoke us when we make Abdullah tomorrow night on mote Shabbos we exit Shabbos different than the way we came in transformed elevated different hopefully better improved enriched and mozai Shabbos is when we collect all of that light so when we think about what went right I want to repeat what went wrong I want to correct and fix and repair what was it about Shabbos that left me changed and different how will I look back at the Shabbos what idea did I hear what did I read what did I think about what conversation did I experience what connection or Bond did I share with another give him all the light of Shabbos now gets covered now the filter goes back on the cap goes back on that's why the nashama yasera that extra nashama that we had the nishama that was expanded that was more intense that was more tuned in that the shami Sarah is extracted we lose it and the gamara learned that we have a Shameless era from Vain about Sarah we have to work hard not to lose that extra something that extra happiness the extra Joy the extra plugged in the extra tuned in that we got on Shabbos that extra light the glass shot we're now London the fact that now it's mozai Shabbos we're in the period after doesn't mean it's over doesn't mean we've it's in the rear view mirror but we take it with us we have to double down and we have to lean in further and we have to take out more from the shabbas that we had so as I said sadly you know often a man comes home from shul his family's wedding around new new have dollar I got all kinds of plans I got all kinds of activities I want to turn on my device I want to catch up I want to lose myself in the weekday and I've forgotten about Shabbos that's not the way a yid lives we've talked about the most Shabbos candles we take from the havdala candle and we light two candles that sit on mote Shabbos and continue to burn the light of Shabbos we go from Friday the light of air of Shabbos to the candles that were burned on mozai Shabbos we're trying to continue that light now the load burns out we don't relight it Sunday morning there is a walk there is a weekday and that weekday is different than Shabbos but the light takes us into Shabbos and the light takes us out of Shabbos and we should want to hold on to that light as long as we can we're malava the malka we escort the queen Shabbos our whole life revolves around Shamus our weak revolves around Shabbos Shabbos is Central to everything we do and everything who we are and it's not that we can't wait for Shabbos to end to get back to the weak we can't wait for the week to end to get back to a Shabbos so the Shabbos that we experience we Savor and we take with us and we are transformed by and we want that light to continue to shine is even if I can't see an experience even now I go into the weekday I've got my to do and my tasks and my technology and they're blurring that light it's hard to see Hashem it doesn't change the Matthias the reality is found right now but yokomokodam just like before I'm able to cling them and stick them and find them just like before Ozark I'll tell you an amazing idea I shared this lesson at our sure Bookers on synagogue we have a beautiful shallow shoulders arrive it arrive in the holiest time of the week when Shabbos is on its way out the moment right before Saturday night kurdishborg who created the world on Moze Shabbos so shall we should drive in is a moment before you decided to create the world and is therefore the moment that he is the most open the moment he's most accessible the ratsunship derive him so the imriah says a beautiful magnificent idea the gay rabbit Imran is toughridge paid test Pasha he says an amazing idea he says we read last week yaakov left but itsyakuma why does it say he left if it says where he went normally we only say where someone goes not that they left and I know we're already past this Parsha and whenever you're listening to this it's a beautiful idea anyway what is Rashi famously tells us to teach us magazines leaves a place it makes erosion when at Sonic leaves somewhere it makes an impact it leaves an impression and the swasama says normally we understand Russia to mean that the absence the fact that Sadiq is not there you can feel it the fact that the sadik is no longer present it leaves a hole that's what it means rosham it says it's not what it means what it means is when a sadik leaves a city Osa rosham it transformed the city forever that Sadiq may not be living there any longer but his influence his impact his transformation that he made to that City it continues it continues Beyond his presence in the city so the name Rama says if that's what the possuk means he said that's what riba the Raven is of Shabbos is starting to leave and you know what it's yes when you leave Shabbos it must make erosion when we exit Shabbos Shabbos has to make oroshima on us Shabbos has to be impactful and transformational Shabbos has to leave us changed Ashante should have been different we've experienced the shabasam maybe it's your away on vacation maybe it's a family reunion maybe it's a conference or a convention maybe there was a special guest maybe there was a special speaker we've experienced oshamas that leave a change but it doesn't take extraordinary circumstances for Shabbos to change us every single Shabbos should and must change us yet see us when we leave Shabbos osiroshima it should leave oroshima on us and that's the role of mozai Shabbos we light those candles from the havdala candles and those candles continue to burn and when you go out to 10 things obviously you go out to three words and two and a malava malka and a speaker and you come up and those candles are still burning you say ah you know what it's still Shabbos I'm still drawing from the light of Shabbos true I went in my car Shabbos is technically over but what I experienced on Shabbos that elevation that enrichment of Shabbos that Shabbos and Living Color I'm still experiencing I'm still drawing I'm still feeling I'm still seeing it's still Illuminating and that's the mission the Mandate job is to take the light of Shabbos to extract it to consolidate it and to insert it to inject it into the weekdays to come so that on Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday you say to a friend wait we can't do that remember on Shabbos what we experienced remember Shabbos what we promised and pledged remember hashaba has changed us to feel like even when it feels the light is gone to still feel the truth that Hashem is still there we have a job Shabbos is not over we take Shabbos and we transform ourselves and plant it within us and continue to draw from its light for the whole week wishing everyone a holy holy God beautiful a happy a healthy a fantastic and amazing amazing Shabbos go turn your Friday into
