only this week but for the next three months my dear friends men didn't see part of fishman who've done so for this host of high rivka bastille poor freidel and today the alias like yosef who's eurotitis today and we wish and hope is nishama shravan aliyah very grateful to amend sipura for their friendship and for their generosity and for enabling and sponsoring this amazing program i hope you can hear me over the mobile that's taking place outside fishman's got out just in time or they would need it noah's ark to escape from here there is the equivalent of a hurricane taking place right now on montoya circle and you may hear that rain happening behind it should be geshmi bracha please god it is the sign of the reign of bracha and is bringing shafa bracha only the greatest blessing to us all we gather every friday afternoon for a few minutes in order to prepare for and to anticipate and to count down with excitement to transition to the holiness and the sanctity of shabbos not for the shabbos to greet us for us to greet shabbos as we put out in our post today in our what's up group the kibato from the word in ishayahuanabi the gemara learns one should be dressed in big day shabbos which should be ready early for shabbos one should bathe for shabbos it's not just another day it's not business as usual but the holiness the sanctity of shabbos is upon us indeed and i want to thank mandy who buys me so many beautiful swarm every time i mention the safe i didn't even mention this one and he bought me the beautiful rav mila bitterman on mirosh shabbos kodesh suramayala has a beautiful collection of very very inspiring thoughts on shabbos and he says the following he quotes from the rebbe says the following if you want to know how are you doing spiritually how is your soul if you want to know how your health is you go for a physical they take your blood pressure your cholesterol you do labs you get on the scale and you find out and you figure out how your health is what if you want to know how you're doing spiritually what if you want to know how well your soul is doing how do you check how do you examine what are the metrics what are the instruments to find out so said that yes what's your attitude to and relationship with shabbos are you excited do you count down do you look forward do you prepare do you elevate do you dress up for shabbos or are you watching the clock you can't wait for shabbos to end are you excited for it to begin or are you excited to end um explains that's what it means the words that we say in davoni we say in our kiddush hashabasi oh sk what does it mean that shambhas is an oas what does it mean that shabbos is a sign or a signal what it means to be an osa is if you want to know how well you're doing how's your neshama how's your soul how's your relationship with hashem how much can you detach from this world and already taste the world to come how much do you realize that you are a soul that has a body or not a body that has a soul the answer is examine yourself and measure yourself and your attitude towards a relationship with shabbos and that's the shot that's what it means the possible beni of an israel oc between me and benedict ralph shabas is the o how close and how well you're doing in your relationship to hashem examine and reflect on your attitude and excitement towards shabbos and in that context i want to share with you in our time today a beautiful insight he has about a concept called tosafeshabas in our wonderful smith's cover program we spent some time learning about tosaf shabbos the biblical obligation the biblical fulfillment to not simply observe shabbos when shabbos descends upon us but to add to shabbos to begin shabbos to finish in time to say i hereby accept shabbos even before shabbas accepts me to extend shabbos on the other end whether you keep all of robin and tom or not but to go a little bit further and keep shabbos if i blow away or drown away send somebody for me throw a life preserver if you're in florida right now you know what i'm talking about i never saw anything like this in my life what's going on outside so uh our attitude towards job is before it begins and our attitude toward shabbos and our desire for it to end we have a mitzvah da rise a biblical fulfillment of what's called tosafe shabbos says we have a concept of tosafesham is airing to shambas there's a lot of alumnus behind it not for now joins me because of a mission we believe there is a fulfillment you accept you have a biblical fulfillment of when you receive shabbos early and when you extend shabbos later um the rambam some believer only holds to sephis yom kippur it doesn't even hold up to sufficient at all the same rambam who believes that accepting shabbos early is only durable writes in shabbos the yoshi's becoming you're going to have a distinguished visitor you're going to have a great guest in our show once upon a time when we were able to host programs we had presidential candidates we had elected officials we had lahav dil chief rabbis russia shiva tamil and you know what happened whole committee would be outside and we'd be greeting and we'd be waiting i think i see the car no not yet the two minutes out they're one minute out we're ready we're ready that's the attitude a person should have towards shabbos your parents your grandparents they're coming to visit your children your grandchildren they're coming to visit you haven't seen them in forever you run you wait you think you look you calculate and you're so excited and that's the attitude we're supposed to have toward shabbos that's the concept of tasteful shabbos the kosovo kadosh the posix says we observe shabbos and in our attitude towards shabbos we don't just keep the laws the details the minutia that attitude creates shabbos when there's excitement and enthusiasm then you have shabbos serenity peace tranquility a taste of that world to come what does it mean since when do we have a mitzvah that we make we don't make the lulu of an asteroid in this week's powershot we don't make the mitzvah on the mitsubishis we don't make the twilight we i mean we make them but the mitzra is not to make them so what do you mean we don't make the yantef the shabbos that comes when the sun goes down that's the shabbos hashem makes the shabbos that you added on to even earlier the tosepha shabbas that's the shabbos that you and i make the las sosus ashabas you know do i spend time with my kids the minimal amount and i have to when i put in the time the time is up and you can go now or do i show that i'm excited i want to extend expand it i want to extend it i want it to be as long and as much as possible we friday afternoon if shabbos really begins at 8 17 but i accept shabbos at 805. la soshabas i've turned friday into shabbos and if saturday night shabbos ends at 8 52 and i keep it until 905 la sosa shabbos it's not saturday night it's not sunday i've made it i've continued for it to be shabbos i don't want the simcha to end i don't want the experience to end a pizza beer haribo if only we'd keep two shabboses immediately would be redeemed so the eighth of opponent says you know what the shot is if only we kept two shabboses doesn't mean this week and next week last week and this week what does it mean to keep two shabboses and a shabbat shabba israel oh sin it means that every weekend i keep the shabbos that hashem makes and i keep the shabbos that i make i keep the shabbos that starts when the sun goes down and i keep the shabbos that starts when i add on and expand on shabbos the secret to gaula to salvation to redemption the way that we can achieve that how can we transform ourselves transform our families transform our relationship to hashem transform our spirituality and our soul is not only the keeping the shabbos that hashem makes but observing and keeping the shabbas that we make when we turn friday into shabbos and we turn saturday night into shabbos kiba meet the smith when we accept shabbos even before we have to kimochen yamara legally even before he has to the enthusiasm and the alacrity that we show to try to spend time with him he will reciprocate and bring the time he spends with us make it happen even earlier is we're not rushing for it to end and we're not waiting for it to have to begin we're so excited we just can't wait the festivities are starting even earlier and we never want it to end if you've been zoho to make a sim card every one of us should be should merit to make beautiful simchas for ourselves and for our family you know you don't say well the kabbalah's parliament was called for 6 p.m so don't wish me mazeltov and i'm not coming out of my room and i'm not getting to the place till 6 p.m that's when it starts and you know we scheduled that it was going to end at 11 p.m at 1101 don't talk to me i'm in bed it's over it's simcha it's already in the rearview mirror if you've experienced the real simcha three days before you've gotta hop in you skip on your step and you're singing you're dancing and everyone's saying mazel tov and if the wedding's called for six aside from the fact that hair and makeup you're there at six a.m you're there at six a.m because you you can't wait for six p.m you're so excited for the semcha and when it ends maybe you don't want to take pay the overtime so as far as the band is concerned it's already oh at 11 p.m but as far as how you're feeling is concerned it's never ending for three weeks for three years after the sun was over you're still walking on cloud nine it's still going that's what shabbos is the higher the possibilities that we're looking forward to each and every week it's a simcha that we're waiting for many have smachos a bar mitzvah uh basmatis what can be celebrated on shabbos and ufra if i see some people here attending enough for send my warmest mazel tov shabbos is a time of sim we host but it's not only a time that we host eden itself is a source of simcha um the more you experience tosaf shabbas the earlier you accept it and the later that you keep it the more that you not only observe the shabbos that hashem created but you observe the shabbos that we created the bustles both types of shabbas the shabbos of his and the shabbos of allah the more you keep both the more you have in the shami yasera the more your soul is on fire the more you are on fire oh si benio venekem you wanna know how well you're doing in your relationship with hashem what's your attitude towards shabbos i know the answer for all of you who joined us today because you're spending your time with us getting ready for shabbas i want to wish everybody the happiest the healthiest the holiest shabbos a shabbos that's not only filled with subhadra shabbas that itself is that we can't wait to greet and that we try so hard to hold on to and that'll carry us throughout the entire week until we meet again one week from today have a wonderful shabbos
