Turn Friday into Erev Shabbos #150: Erev Shabbos and Erev Rosh Hashanah

coming up to the great holiday of Shabbos that comes every weekend Rosh Hashanah the New Year it's the last turn Friday into air Shabbos of the Year our series Johnson's sponsor is a big thank you to my dear friends Mindy and see part of fisherman for their generosity and for their sponsorship and for all that they do last turn Friday into Arab Shabbos of the year and it couldn't come at a better time as we are getting ready for Rosh Hashanah that's it tonight where mamla Hashem were gathering all over the world in order to coronate the almighty in order to surrender and submit to him as our King in order to celebrate his Dominion his powers Providence over the world over our world mom is so exciting and when Shabbos and Rosh Hashanah correspond when they come together it is Soho it's a beautiful we won't share for now before who can only inscribe Us in the book of life you're only allowed to write for Pico he doesn't have any any alternative but there's something even deeper there's something even more meaningful Shabbos and truva are inextricably linked they are so deeply connected Shabbos is what brings us close to Hashem Shabbos is what enables us to repair to redeem to restart to renew and this era of Shabbos today we're not just getting ready for a typical Shabbos we're getting ready for the Shabbos the beginning of the year after everything after follows that it's the rosh Hashem it's the head of the year just like the head is what dictates everything to the body the head is what shoots off the neurons so the body the physical body responds so to the Rosh Hashanah the head of the year is what sets off the entire year it's what connects everything all together the measures precious rabbit tells us that when other Mauritius learned about the possibility of chuva he was created on a Friday that's tomorrow we're celebrating the sixth day of creation is rasham the first day of tishre is the sixth day of creation it was created on a Friday and he already failed and he was already expelled from gun Aiden but who gave him Shabbos and he learned there are new beginnings there's a fresh start there's a new opportunity and says the majorish that other mauritian composed Ms murshirly yamashabas when he learned about chuva about renewal about restarting about transformation about a new possibility he composed Ms moshili yamashabas ah ayit comes to the Shabbos table and it's a chance to start again the relationships of the people around us the relationship with Hashem the relationship with ourselves that we're starting off the year on a Shamus it's not just Rosh Hashanah and yantev it's combined with it's starting on a on a Shabbos it lifts us into this place of Holiness it is the expanded more attuned more sensitive more on fire More Alive part of ourselves and that Ms moshili yamashab is that's worth singing about that's something which is mamish incredibly incredibly specials explains that Shabbos and chuva are connected because just like Hashem created for six days he rested from the outside on the surface everything looks exactly the same but internally something very different was happening so to chuva if it's genuine if it's real internally there's something that's changing something that's happening something new says the message refers to other meeting Cayenne Cayenne says I've been exiled I've been thrown out I'm destined to wander because of my mistakes I have nowhere to go Hashem gave him an oath and we typically understand he gave him a letter the letter Above The Scarlet Letter that he'd carry with him because the big mistake of course Cayenne Mady introduced murder to the world but then yesiva Shelton quotes that Hashem gave him an oath not in a bad sense it wasn't a Scarlet Letter a label but rather the oath was Shabbos OSI leolam and what he was telling Cayenne was no matter what happens all week long no matter how we come up short no matter how we fail no matter what mistakes we make but Shabbos comes the nashama is yasera Shabbos comes and the secret of shamas Hashem has saved it in the Treasure House it is just for us it's the anchor it keeps us rooted we can always come back to no matter what happens and so when Shabbos and Russia Sharma coincide when the new year begins on a new week on the newness of Shabbos we can tap into when we can lean into when we can experience and we can get ready so don't just set your table for don't just at your table for Shabbos this turn Friday is turn Friday into air of Shabbos turn Friday into Arab Rosh Hashanah together together we're able to use Shabbos to elevate us to Lift Us Shabbos and Rosh Hashanah is a new start in a fresh begin at beginning it doesn't matter where you've been and what's happened it doesn't matter what every
