Turn Friday into Erev Shabbos #136 - Keep Two Shabboses Each Week

the good air of Shabbos and welcome back to turn Friday into our Shabbos today is not Friday today is in fact Eric Shabbos kodesh way of course from the month of the period of sphera so we're not playing music but the music even when it doesn't play in our ears is playing in our heads and in our hearts because we're always hearing that music we're always living even the time where it is somewhat silenced and diminished because of the loss of the students of rabi Akiva but it's still a joy and why is it a joy what do we have to be happy about in this mournful time of Surah we're happy because we're counting down we're counting up to shabba's code the Shabbos is coming and we're so grateful to our generous sponsors of turn Friday into our showers Monday in support of Fishman is this particular episode of turn Friday into our Shabbos is also sponsored by my dear friends Marilyn Jeremy Strauss in memory of Jeremy's father mayor big thank you to the strassis for all the generosity and all of their friendship and all of their incredible support so I want to share with you from our we have a reference to the observance of Shabbos several times we find that Torah many times the connection the observance the mandate to keep Shabbos seven days six days we collect them on the seventh day it falls of course we have the obligation of six days we work the seventh day is that Holy Holy Shabbos over and over again and then we have the dibros later in the Torah and in our Parsha as well we have shab so Sai in the plural and we've shared many times because it appears many times in the Torah why the plural each Shabbos we keep only that Shabbos don't we focus on the mindfulness isn't part of shabba's not being fragmented and divided and distracted but the ability to focus and be mindful and be fully present in that day and in that Shabbos isn't that part of what Shabbos is really all about so why do we call it Society why are we talking about the many be present and focused and mindful just on the one just on the one and we've shared many many insights that every Shabbos really has multiple or several shabasam in them but I want to share with you today and inside of the he says the following and the we have in one pasak to observe shabba's end to carry a sense of awe a sense of reverence a sense of fear of the miktash why in one what's the connection of Shabbos and the miktash and of course there is an overlap there is a common denominator and common theme what the miktash is in space Shabbos is in time just like the miktash is a holy location it is a place of intense dwelling of Hashem the mikdash is physically the place that can capture that we can feel the intense presence of the Divine Shabbos in spaces that place of Refuge Shabbos is the mikdush of time Shabbos is the 25 hours a week that we escape that we find Refuge that we go into a place that is an intense rendezvous with Hashem but says the most tells us if only we would observe if only we could keep two shabbases properly we immediately be redeemed and that's alluded to shop Society observe my Shabbos is in the plural if indeed we can observe the two shabbases then we'll Merit the Gula will Merit a sense of redemption or feel the Redemption the freedom the repair is so that is the understanding based on the based on the gamara what are these two shabboses are we supposed to be focused on mindful what are the two chapters so we've shared previously maybe they are Shabbos but those are the two shabboses we quoted the two shabbases are the passive part of Shabbos refraining abstaining from malacha and the active part of Shabbos the fact that we have to create Shabbos though stories so many are observing the negative of Shabbos but I'm not allowed to do the minutia the details of the isurium the prohibitions but what about the energy what about the flavor what about the feeling what about the dynamism what about the Shabbos that we create what about the Shabbos that we make and that we fashion there's the Shabbos that happens automatically and there's the Shabbos that we have to create so today this Friday as you're turning Friday into our Shabbos are you making Shabbos you're not just keeping Shabbos are you making Shabbos a Jew the two Shabbos is that we have to keep Shabbos observe Shabbos that's not violating the Israel but we also have to make Shabbos to make Shabbos literally as shop and cook and set the table and shower and dress and prepare but it also is zimiros and devere Torah and energy and dynamism and conversation and the act that it takes the the to proactively be mindful to truly keep Shabbos we've shared all this in the past the truth is the slaughter has another interpretation this is partial he says the two shabbases that we're keeping the two parts of every shamas of the shamasos of the shab society are number one part of Shabbos is that we are commemorating creation of the world that the Jew recreates every Shabbos Shabbos comes and we start a new Shabbos comes and we start fresh Shabbos comes and we are recreated we are born again whatever baggage whatever hurt whatever pain whatever disappointment whatever mistakes we've made Shabbos comes and is we have the ability and capacity to be reborn to recreate to start again and then Shabbos has a second component which is to liberate and to free ourselves that even when we don't have the luchos we have the luchos we have the ability of the second Lucas the ability of the still to liberate and to save ourselves these two themes of racism are the two themes of of Shabbos and they are the Shabbos they are the two shabbases that every one of us have to keep I ain't Shams see there with this elaborates but I want to share with you shares from the rabbit of what does it mean to observe to Shabba says listen to what he says this is so powerful and beautiful and I hope it will inform and enhance not only this shot but for you but every shop is going forward I'm so excited really so deep he says one component of every Shabbos one Shabbos we're keeping is to energize the six days that are to come that on this Shabbos we are able to have Torah discussions in this mirrors and games and laughter and stories and rest and reading that is going to prepare us for a week ahead to dream and to picture and to imagine who we can be what kind of weak can we have what kind of husband a wife what kind of mother or father what kind did ever Hashem what kind of person who's looking to still get married or not at the stage of marriage whatever stage one is in every one of us has the ability to use Shabbos to dream to plan to anticipate to prepare you Shabbos to recreate ourselves for the week ahead the week that we'll be ideas but the other part of Shabbos that we keep is to be reflective the other part of Shabbos is the reward and the payoff the McCourt it is the destination of the goal of the six days that proceeded so every single Shabbos plays these two Duo roles every Shabbos is every Shabbos is two components one it is the culmination of the week that was two it is going to prepare and launch and get started the week that will be and the Shabbos has both aspects Shabbos plays both roles on that Shabbos we should reflect on that Shabbos we should celebrate on that Shabbos we should pause from the week that was and learn from it and celebrate it and understand the things we did right and what we did wrong and Shabbos prepares us gets us ready for this week that will be and that's why we have those two components moreover says it says in the Parsha three times three times that we have that word says observing keeping safeguarding Shabbos why three times says this fast time is about Deborah and maisa because the way it drew the way it keeps Shabbos the way it turns Friday into Arab Shabbos to prepare to keep that Shabbos is to focus and get ready to harness those three waysava where are our thoughts what is our attitude what perspective do we bring Deborah is the way we speak in Shabbos what we speak about anshaba is the manner of speech on Shabbos with whom we speak on Shabbos and maisa our action or men hug him our dress our conduct the fact that we rest the fact that we observe Shabbos is in three areas these three the shamrus correspond with the correspond with a lot more to say about this but a lot of work to be done so this Shabbos don't keep on Shabbos this Shabbos in every Shabbos keep more than one Shabbos keep two shabso Sai tishomoro if only we could learn to keep two shabbases we'd be in that basement together how the two shabbases we need to keep we need to keep the passive we need to keep the low sasses and we need to cap keep the assay we need to create the Shabbos we need to observe both components Recreation and we need to keep the Shabbos that is the culmination of the week that was and the Shabbos that will prepare and bring the week that will be which will be to keep both shabbases and to have a Shabbos which is a source of Happiness Holiness and in good health wishing everyone a wonderful wonderful
