Turn Friday into Erev Shabbos #141: Dance Your Way into Shabbos

we are meeting and greeting and learning and growing I want to thank our generous sponsors as many as before a fisherman is as the clock is ticking towards Shabbos and the siren is coming let us get ready and prepare together I want to share with you a beautiful Insight of the Holy slam of that can transform our Shabbos and when Shabbos is transformed we prepare we get ready we count down we count up by Transforming Our era Shabbos and our parachute says regarding on the day of your simcha and the ibane Ezra says the day of your victory at Battle you come on Victorious but this is free the magic learns something differently what does it mean what are the day of your simra these are the days of Shabbos which is really A peculiar limit for another time we can get into in many Forum do is there amidst is there an obligation of simcha of joy and Shabbos normally we think of there's a mix of onig not of simcha that's why there is Avalos Shabbos does not cancel available and going on and on but now not for now the question is what does it mean the mitz it's not manifest in the same way it is we don't buy jewelry and we don't give children toys and we don't eat meat and drink wine necessarily if it doesn't bring us one egg someone gets onig by eating something else then that's how they fulfill the mitzvah for Shabbos so where's the simha where's the joy what's the nature of the joy of the gishmak of Shabba said listen carefully to what this alarm says the day of our wedding the day of the gladness the joy of our house the day of our wedding was the day of matantara the day we received the Torah sinaibo the day of our joy is was built and we had a rendezvous point we had a place to go to intensely feel the presence of Hashem undeniably with Clarity and confidence with with complete absolute knowledge that we're in the presence of the Divine of the almighty when we felt nothing is random or chance everything is by Design and from above a place to go to connect to Rendezvous the Divine that islibo that is the gladness of our heart so what is Indian basis the Israel the union the integration the connection the Rendezvous the intimacy of the Jewish people and the almighty that God is not just some concept he's not theoretical he's not in the abstract he's not academic but there's a God who I'm connected with who I feel his love and I love him who I talk to him and he talks to me who I feel his support and I can lean on that intimate connection that Union that is the greatest day of the Glenn the happiness of our heart so it says but that's what it means building it's square footage at the destination it is a geographic location it is the place that we intensely feel Hashem and Shabbos is the time that we intensely feel Hashem Shabbos is in time what the base is in space and so if Shabbos in space is called simha then Shabbos in time where we have this Union this connection this bond this feeling of Rendezvous affection intimacy with Hashem is called and that's what it means that Shabbos is and says what does that means that when the sun sets on Friday and I enter that place called Shabbos it doesn't matter what mood I'm in it doesn't matter what kind of week I've had it doesn't matter what kind of week awaits me after for those 25 hours I have a place of Refuge for the 25 hours I have a place to go for those 25 hours I have Safety and Security was 25 hours I have the loving Embrace of my Father in heaven six days seventh day we rest Champa says because there is that day that I stopped working and conquering I stopped trying to control everything around me I rest and I'm at one in connection with Hashem so Shabbos doesn't have a Mitzvah of per se I don't have to eat meat and drink wine and buy gifts and give toys it doesn't have the formality of the Mitzvah of simcha but it has more of a natural simpler it has this simcha that Wells up inside us and feeling you know what for 25 hours everything's okay for 25 hours I'm at peace with the world for 25 hours I'm taking a break from the challenges and the struggles for 25 hours I go into a place of the world to come for 25 hours I go into the Garden of Eden for 25 hours I have a small piece of heaven for 20 25 hours I get a taste of what it will all be like when I know that everything is for a reason and that everything is okay and that everything is comfortable and I'm able to connect with the one above return to my roots that is the essence of what Shabbos is really all about that's the simcha of Shabbos really Shabbos Israel Shabbos is the marriage the affection the intimacy between Hashem says that this expresses itself in the development of the davening we do over Shabbos Friday night what is the amida atakidash why because Friday night is proposes betrothedrals the kala will you marry me Hashem and we together are getting married we're making this commitment showers in the morning we say yes and now we're married and every marriage has the Sims sing and dance before Friday night is the condition The Proposal this morning is the Nissan is the wedding what do we say we say we're going into the eagle room Friday night we propose when we get married integration Hashem and us together lock the door behind them and the whole week long I'm listening to the world that I'm interacting with the world and I'm trying to influence the world and then Shabbos comes and I go into the room with Hashem and I lock the door behind me and just me and Hashem and feel connected and I feel United and I feel integrated and I feel affection and love and intimacy we feel one so with the best is in space is in time and though there's no formal obligation of central there is a feeling of the relief belief and the knowledge and the comfort and the joy in knowing that nothing's random and nothing is chance but for 25 hours I have a father who takes me into his arms who holds me and who comforts me and who inspires me and who sings and celebrates together with me and says the slaughter that's the meaning is the paragraph that we associate with Shabbos paragraph that Friday night dominating with which we accept Shabbos Ms Shabbos this was the song but it doesn't mention Shabbos a minor detail a minor problem if you go through the mismor you don't find it mentioning Shabbos says all week long we suffer we struggle we work hard we toil we're disappointed we fail we have pain come Shabbos we shake off the dust and we Elevate ourselves and we see Hashem is all that Hashem does is good and kind and compassionate and there is a reason and that's for 25 hours it's just good to thank Hashem to sing to Hashem to lock ourselves in the room and to be intimate and feel the connection and the affection with Hashem to sing to your incredible name your elevated holy name so this mismore doesn't include Shabbos other than in the introduction but it's all about Shabbos because Shabbos is all about a time of Tove lodos Hashem so that's what the plastic means that is Shabbos what is the day that we must feel so you have a formal Mitzvah eat May drink wine but every Shabbos every shab is Friday night we get betrothed to Hashem we ease into the relationship we're not yet married you can't be intimate now we're a married couple we can hold hands walking away from the khupa then we're where do we walk to uh we walked to the room where we locked the door behind us and we connect in a way that we don't share with anyone else in the world where we feel comfortable and safe and secure and vulnerable to one another and that's what every Shabbos kodesh we feel with hashems we're turning today Friday into Arab Shabbos at the time that we're getting ready for that simcha wipe that frown off your face stop being depressed or anxious or negative or worried or complaining or criticizing put a smile on your face put some fast music on put a skip in your step dance your way into shambas and know you're about to enter into the base
