Turn Friday into Erev Shabbos #24 - Rest for Shabbos Not on Shabbos

we are going to continue the piece we began last week in the era in rememberments beautiful safer on uh ansmiros and on shabbos and last left off last week where he compares shabbos to mon he doesn't compare he quotes hazal who compare shabbos to based on apostolic in boraisias the borah's rabbi says all week long one portion fell out of shabbos two fortunes fell the kid should be on schwerbach called icker lupella what's the connection shabbos and man mom was temporary it was fleeting it was only in the midbar shabbos is perpetual shabbos is forever so bitumen suggests basically tells us just like when it came to the one that a person tasted like anything that they wanted a person could imagine that was the biggest question in the midbar when you told someone who nebucha was going to taste something vegetarian or vegan or milk la elenor and you said no don't you know you can make it taste like generous sauce like beef jerky like a meat pizza like steak that was the biggest question that one could do for another in the mid bar the man could taste like anything you want similarly says we each extract or draw out of shabba is the taste that we want if shabbos is a burden if shabbos is a pain if shabbos is constrictive and restrictive and boundaries if shabbos forces you to give up what you want then shabbos for you is bitter but if shabbos is sweet and delicious if shabbas you rest your mind body and soul of shabbat you connect and reconnect with the people around you with yourself and ultimately most importantly with the very bonus show and the shabbos is delicious the shabbos is sweet and savory the shabbos is the most amazing taste we give the taste to shabbos just like our intention and mindfulness also imbued the taste to the man and that is what the righteous the wise should choose to taste the sweetness the sanctity the greatness of shabbos to become sweet and transformed elevated enriched shabbos you can feel hashem's love you can sense the o the illuminati for you the kiddush club the single malt the fine wine is shabbos for you how much you can fresh and stuff your face how many colors the gefilte fish can be try quadruple colored how many color only they're up to yet they don't make fish in those colors yet the gefilte fish is so many colors how many courses how many side dishes do you compete how many hours did you sleep in the afternoon is that what shabbos is then shabbos has that empty taste and then for it's not going to inspire and it's not going to uh transfer to the next generation la sauce is ashamed of the salmon we want shabbos to be intergenerational if we want people to love and embrace and draw shabbas for generations to come it can't just be the shamroo it's not you can't do this you can't do this you can't do this it's lassos it's giving shabbos a joy and a happiness and a flavor it's turned friday friday is not friday the message we sent out this morning on our what's app group the safria parties yesterday says zakarasiyamashabas in a couple hours we'll make in an hour or less we'll make kiddish on wine kiddish medicine biblically speaking kittish you can even fulfill when you wish another jew a good shabbos but there's a rabbana of kirish that you have to say on a coast that you say on a cup you elevate by beginning you introduce shabbos the meal of shabbos on a cup on coasts remember shabbos to sanctify it remember it on wine but the safri says no zach or zach means remember it all week long don't wait till shabbas to remember shabbos it's too late if two minutes before shop we say i got a shower i gotta change i gotta set the table what are we gonna eat i don't know torah what am i gonna sing it's too late socrates the culture says this they freeze all week long and how is that done so free say arab i say nations of the world when you're filling out your check when you're filling out something online if they ask you what day it is it's sunday monday tuesday wednesday thursday or friday but a year a holy jew doesn't know from sunday monday tuesday what we know is yom rishon yom shane and yo our entire life our entire week revolves around shabbos first date of shabbos second day of shabbos third day to shabbos yo marishan yo and shayna yoshilishi that's zach how do you remember shabbos the whole week because you don't wait till friday you remember it you observe it how just like aviv shamara sadavar the after of recorded this so many times the after of says to be ashamed shabbos is to long for to anticipate to wait to count down with great excitement to be able to get to shabbos so if shabbos for you tastes like the burden that comes at the end of the week if shabbos few is not shabbos it's saturday and you can't wait for saturday night if you're competing how many hours you slept or how many how the age of the scotch you drank then shabbos is empty but if shabbos is filled with connection community if shabbos is filled with love if shabbos is filled with yirah if shabbos is filled with transformation with elevation if shabbos we touch everything and make it higher than shabbos is the most delicious thing like the mon we give it the flavor we give it the taste um and therefore a person has to be incredibly vigilant and careful with our actions and our deeds and shabbos to be mindful intentional careful vigilant sharia college border malaysia is what is shabbos we welcome and we greet the shabbos queen the shabbos malkasa so let me ask you are you going to act the same way in the home in the palace of the king as you do in a stranger in the home of the ordinary citizen or resident yes it's the beginning if you have an awareness if you're visiting the king's palace if you're in the inner chamber if you're in the oval office if you're in a place it's supposed to be of great dignity of great honor then you have an awareness a cognizance of who you are and what you look like of what you say of how you behave of the image you portray of the thoughts that you have when shabbos comes you're welcoming the shabbos queen salvation said the he comes to us so true the shabbos queen we're welcoming the shabbos queen the queen the king are coming to us but still you host a dignitary you're having a rosh hashiba at sadiq a world famous speaker a president a prime minister in your home you're going to clean your home you're going to look your best you're going to be thoughtful of what you speak about you're going to have a whole agenda for the conversation is the palace shabbos is the inner chamber shabbos is that holy place is the barometer the metric through which we can evaluate and check it's the soul check the gut check how we're doing with hashem i always like to think of davening as a barometer when you're dabbing well when you're plugged in when you have kavanaugh when you come out different than you went into any particulate fila then you know shama is doing well it's nourished it's healthy when you're struggling to connect to davoni when you finish the words when you close the sitter and you don't ever remember saying them when you weren't present or mindful or focused and didn't think about anything significant you didn't show kashbacho appreciation and tell them how much you rely on depend on him you didn't understand the difference with shabbat between here as us so then your soul is struggling but the other barometer is not just davening the asura buddha says the barometer is shabbos shamas do you count down to when shabbas ends or do you count down when shabbos begins are you so excited for after shabbos are you so excited for shabbos what does your shabbos look like how do you define rest on shabbos do you rest on shabbos for the week or do you rest during the week in order to get the most out of shabbos and says we see that in the past between us between hashem says between me and bene israel oh see shabbos is a sign shabbos is a symbol now this is true and has consequences we know shabbos is an oos we know that a bris mila is an oath and therefore uh twillion is an oauth so you don't need filano chabas because you have a bris mila and you have and you have shabbat so there's a lot of consequences the notion that it's an it's a sign it's a symbol of that special relationship however israel says this is something even deeper he says additional or another level of layer interpretation that beni israel oce you know what the sign of the symbol you know what the metric of the measure how can you evaluate how you neshama is doing you want to know how close you are to hashem you want to know how well that relationship is check how much you appreciate long for and love shabbos what's your attitude to shabbos what's your experience of shabbos what role does shabbos play in your life how much do you know about shabbos how invested are you in shabbos that will tell you everything about how your neshama is doing whether it's on fire or not cain's acoustics that a person can contemplate and a person can think and a person can test where they are and how they are in their love of hashem in truth how when you get ready for shabbos and you come out of the mikvah and you're pure and you're dressed and you're showered and your shoes are polished and you're cleaned up and your table set yavin and then you'll know that you have this additional layer of shama ki yagesh binash harom because then you'll know not just a year a sense of awe a fear a fear of punishment but a year as aroma when you're in contact with greatness when you feel a sense of awe then you feel what shabbos is you're about to enter the palace you're about to encounter royalty the queen of shabbos you're about to welcome hashem into your home he's going to be that guest what will he find bickering and fighting a mess what kind of conversation will he be overhearing what will the table look like what is the agenda the king is coming the queen is coming what will they find shabbos is oc it is the sign of benievan benestro where we're doing and how we are with hashem if you don't feel that sanctity if you're not elevated by if you're not excited by it if you don't become alive if you're not lit on fire from it then shaman needs to do a check you need to go on that for an annual physical you need to go for an annual spiritual you need to evaluate what's going wrong and how can you nourish that neshama so many people don't even know they have a neshama shabbas is the time of an neshama yasera forget shabbos is no sarah how about a regular neshama how often do we quote that you're not a body that has a soul we are a soul that has a body but how many people have ever had contact with their soul have felt their soul on fire know what it means to nourish and nurture and safeguard and experience a soul or soulfulness shabbos is that gut check if you feel the sanctity of the kedusa if you're excited then you know that you have a soul and you know it's on fire that ends this peak there's so much more in his safer but i picked up a bunch of farm about shabbos when i was uh recently on a trip this is a beautiful say for shabbos kodesh seyfra shabbas al-shabab is kodash and next week we're going to begin he goes to the source of a neshami sera and then he has many many suggestions about what does it mean what does it mean we all know we eat a little bit extra on shabbos why is this a misconception is it a bubba maison you can't gain weight on shabbos you're carb free all week you don't need dessert you don't touch the sugar but on shabbos you could eat it why because nashami is sarah does that have a source is it a bubba misa is there any reality to it we'll see a beautiful interpretation of the alexander but starting next week we'll go through many many interpretations about what it means to have ashamed until then my dear arab shabbas jews as we count down with excitement where shomar shabbas zakharov is the culture not on shabbos but during the week there's no such thing as friday it's heir of shambas it's no such thing as saturday night it's motei shabbas and sunday we do it all over again there's no such thing as sunday it's yom rishon it's young we think in our context and our timetable and timeline and time awareness is as jews our lives revolve around shabbos and so i turn to you and i say stay happy stay healthy stay holy wishing everyone a wonderful shabbos
