good Erev Shabbos dear friends thanks for coming back again every Friday as we transition the house of the bustle of the chaos the uncertainty of the week into the serenity the shadow and the calm of Shabbos a taste of the world to come hallelujah shokudo Shabbos we long for the day that will be all Shabbos but until then we're so grateful to have at least a 25 hour Shabbos arrested a refuge a place to be able to escape to no news no updates no going backwards no going forwards no new numbers a place to just experience and to be elevated I want to thank our dear friends Mindy and super-efficient for sponsoring us as hosts for high rifki Bassett sapota Fredo thank you for your generosity not to tell you if I got one more text today I got so many beautiful beloved text from wonderful friends saying Oh today's daf Yomi is perfect for turn Friday into Erev Shabbos if you learn the daf you know Shabbos cook your test is all about how to turn Friday into Erev Shabbos how to get ready how to wake up early it's a special notion of Akiba to wake up early and to serve the Shabbos how to shop for Shabbos and I save the delicacies and reserve the best for Shabbos assaulting the fish or sweeping the ground there behind the ingredients are doing the dishes all for Shabbos there's a beautiful I just quote you and then we'll get back to our regularly with our regular study the Gemara here in today's - Shama stock of your tests tells the story I'm on the case I'm gonna be a showman Khan Anya the Caesar the case are said to the greater be sure Ben Khan Anya but name at time Shousha Shabbos Rico no Dave what is that great smell you walk into a home on a Friday a Jewish home it's a great smell the potato kugel the challah the chicken the meat what a great smell what is that aroma where does it come from how does it spread so near and far I'm ELISA a fisherman frienemy says tablet and clinician oh no the Shabbos you know we have a special spice there's an ingredient in our food there's an ingredient and what's in the article in The Economist about chalant an article in The Economist not exactly a Jewish newspaper in the time of quarantine and lockdown the best food is a little something called shunt so the economists and the non-jewish nations of the world they could try to access our recipes they could try to tap in - our delicacies but you know says the game Mario tavill and F ideational another Shabbos you know we've got a special spice and the spice that we have it so flavors it's what creates that aroma it's what creates that incredible smell the aroma the flavors shot on my teal in the Soho we put it inside Rijo know dave and when you add this one ingredient then the aroma the taste the flavor goes everywhere so if you hear the Caesar if you're the case are powerful person what do you say to reveal sure what are you say to be sure but fine yeah so the case I tells them on below tain Lana hey Manu where do I get the spice Malcolm to you who da where do I have to go super saw the Grove when Dixie what do I have to go aroma appropriately-named I'm a low sodium friend you says no Cola Michonne Mirza Shabbos mo a low Shana Michonne Mirza Shabbos Anmol oh this is a spice it doesn't come in a little bottle with holes on top this is a spice you can't buy wholesale retail you can order it off Amazon this is a spice that if you show me a Shabbos then your food tastes good when you add this ingredient and if you're not it doesn't interestingly into muharram or lydell's explains that there was a spice and antiquity if you look in the second Oakton and the third pair called cheves there was a spice called cheves so at first one you should be fine anythin will get away with telling the Khazar oh we have a spice we put it in it's called Shabbos amazing spice that's what you're smelling that's what you're tasting so in the case I said well where do I get it this spice coach Evans where do I order it that's when you have to come clean and say no no no colum Hashanah Shabbos it's not cheves the spice it's Shabbos the the holiday its Shabbos the neshamah you sailor it's Shabbos the essence of what this day is really all about so as long as this Gomorrah it occurred to me what do you mean colas shomer Shabbos that if your shomer Shabbos then Reijo no day for the smell travels and so on if you're Sharma showers by the time of Chavez you no longer cooking for Shabbos by the time of Shabbos the aroma is no longer spreading as far and wide as the kitchen is on Friday when you're getting ready but if you go back to something we've shared so many times before that the term the expression shomer Shabbos the abuse or the Apter of and many other ever say that to be a shomer Shabbos and also all throughout today's - Ava's coffee attest to be a shaman is not one Shabbos begins that you're obligated that when the Sun Goes Down Friday like it or not here it comes 39 malakas no creative labor for you we are held accountable we are responsible we have no we have no flexibility what does it mean to be a shaman shaman says not once the Sun Goes Down Friday what it means to shomer Shabbos is do you look forward to Shabbos the whole week long the Aviv shemar Assad devar Yaakov was longing for Yosef show Marisa Marisa devar show me we find in many places in Tana that the word show Miramar doesn't just mean to safeguard it means to anticipate to look forward to countdown to be excited so maybe that's what the Gemara means color shomer Shabbos come on show me where's the Shabbos Imola below you know miss Ramirez - ah miss n mo alone it means that if you look forward to and you invest in and you're excited and you invest yourself in every time he had an ingredient and with everything that you're getting ready and getting prepared you're sending the Shabbos table and you're getting the Shabbos candles ready and you're making it Shabbos food and you keep putting out your Shabbos clothing with each act you're mentally mindfully thinking the cupboard Shabbos kodesh this is not just another day of the week this is not just another form of me this is the best version of me I'm putting on my shop it's upon him over my vulcanic upon and Kalama Shama Shama Shama Shama you have to be show me you have to look forward if to anticipate so if Friday is the Friday is the is the house is the home a place that shomer Shabbos so you say what do you mean how do you evaluate whether you're a shomer Shabbos not Friday not to Friday night Shabbos the answer is no you can look at a Jewish home on a Friday and see whether there's shomer Shabbos not show me the technical parts of Shabbos show me are they fulfilling the countdown they're looking forward to the anticipation the excitement all those other components of Shabbos which are deaf talk so much about okay so getting back to what we were learning we're going through a millimeter Minh but Eric I am on smears and Shabbos and we last left off last week recorded a magnificent shot they savor a Tod isotope tells us the Gomorra tells him they say Menachem that if you're in the presence of somebody who is a ripe age who is like a fine wine better with age an empty-nester a senior I don't know what the politically correct or proper sensitive way although I'm heading there myself so they save I talk them you have to stand you have to rise such a person so he says why are you rising for such a person because that person has experienced so many shavasan the more Shabbos is that you've tapped into we established last week that in some ways Shabbos it's holier and it's more elevated than um Kippur you can be forgiven for things that um Kippur doesn't achieve if you do chiva then Shabbos is able to achieve a tuber that Yom Kippur can't shot misses the holiest day it's the holiest holiday and therefore the person who has observed who's experienced who's encountered the most shamisen is deserving of our greatest honor and our standing for them the calf Rebecca chakra to share him said the girl Abba keep a whole era of Shabbos cottage was man of some of our commercial minimum oh well holy Sh mr. low dear Shabbos that you own every era of Shabbos Moshe Rabbeinu comes literally figuratively and he reminds us and he tells us it's coming Shabbos a few years ago mr.
