Turn Friday into Erev Shabbos #70 - Shabbos and Boshes

thank you for joining us for turn friday into arab shabbos the last one of the year tough shinfei olive put your hands together it is not friday it's heir of shabbos shabbat i want to thank our generous sponsors for the series mental and support mendy and seapora fishman our dear friends is close four higher supporters and memory regular jonathan sacks of yakov thank you so much for your sponsorship shabbos is coming the last shabbos of the year is coming all that we do in getting ready and prepare is the covered shabbos kaido there it is thank you for joining us once again we are going to take a break from the share with you some other insights appropriate for this final shabbos of the year first from the sakha rabbid the shame says this is the final and last shabbos of the year and therefore we have the opportunity to repair we have the opportunity to make up for what was missing the entire year maybe those fridays we treated like other weekdays maybe we neglected to treat friday as heir of shabbos maybe we stumbled or tripped or rolled into shabbos exhausted and spent and we had nothing left to give shabbos in order to honor the holy shabbas maybe we didn't practice in vegas we didn't cling and cleave to hashem the o'neg or get the joy the kasha shabbos but this shabbos when we live this shabbos properly when we are ready early and there's music playing and our shabbos table is set when we're able to focus on minha we're able to light candles with kavanaugh with mindfulness when we're able to connect with hashem the shabbos hashanah we repair all the shabboses of the year kola uros because the light of all the shabboses of the year they come together and it is the brightest it is the most shining it is the most illuminating light on this the final shabbos of the year when we come into it correctly when we live it most when we live it most fully and so we have an opportunity maybe we struggle to turn friday into arab shabbas no matter if you've listened no matter if you're part of our whatsapp group but we struggle to be mindful and to remember but this is our day this is our weekend this is our shabbos because when we do it when we've got all we've got give it all we've got and we come to that shabbos table with energy and enthusiasm with a positive attitude and prepared with the torah in conversations and the story in zemiros then we're able to prepare for the shabboses and the turn friday into arab shabboses of the entire year the islamorabbin is shalom on our parachute tells us it tells us that we should return to hashem and listen to his voice we return no matter how far we've distanced no matter how far we've strayed we come back we return and we listen to his voice and the torah tells us very interesting shabbos who osiyos boshes shabbos are comprised of the same letters shin bei sof and bein tough the same letter shabbos and boshis why shayla and based these are two parts of chuba hashabas the mistakes that we made they contaminate the mistakes that we made they compromise they corrupt both our soul and our body they go to bush but when we have a sense of shame when we have a healthy sense of guilt we have a recognition of that contamination of the damage we've done through the poor choices we've made then we can then we can be mitigated the guf avatarasana shama but how do we purify the soul the body the mistakes we've made with our hands our eyes our mouth we listened we spoke we looked we went we did we acted out that remorse regret commitment for the future that beauchest that sense of shame that sense of guilt that healthy self-awareness of the mistakes that we've made and how much better we need to be that helps us repair the damage of the body but what about the neshama how do you purify the neshama how do you come back from the neshama that's shabbos is the day of the soul the new sera we dwell on and invest in and have an awareness of shabbos we have an expanded soul so when we have shame and guilt and we realize how low we stooped how low we fell how the behavior was beneath us was past that's how we repair the damage to the body that's that is shiftless atmo to see the loneliness the the unworthiness within us but shabbos that's godless shabbos is our greatness shabbos we're angelic shabbos were holy shabbos were all capable and potential shabbos we lift ourselves up and so shabbos and boshes and and shafta are all comprised of the same letters chuva to return through a sense of shame and guilt and through shabbos how do we come back to god how are we the shaft how do we repair how do we return how do we come back how do we take away that distance that divide how do we make sure there's no daylight through boshes and shabbos a healthy sense of shame and guilt takes care of the mistakes of the body and a commitment and a transformation through shabbos takes care of the nisham away because says this who is bathless what is chuva chuvas is spotless to nullify it's not about me i'm not the center of the universe not about my ego my want my arrogant my envy my anxiety chuva is the recognition that i'm not the center of the universe god is he doesn't work for us we work for him i have to be my father to nullify and relinquish and i have to recognize and replace my ego my anuki with his how do i do that so shame and guilt do that for the body but shabbos shabbos does that for the souls through these two parts the jew comes to hakara the jew comes to a recognition that we need to come close we need to connect we need to return to hashem we need to return to hashem the shafta how do we return same letters the shaft that we return through shabbos and through boshes is so great it brings us close to the name we have for god when he's accessible when he's available like a shahrain like a good neighbor god is there he is a shahrain shrina god is accessible he's available he's there how do we feel his intense presence how do we feel he's there he's available he's accessible how do we achieve that level of chuva so we do it through a sense of shabbos that's what shabbos is about shabbos is 25 hours with shrina we set aside the noise and the distractions and the interruptions god is not competing for our attention the shrina and we are together and that's we go out to the field and we welcome the shabbos queen and we welcome the king into our home and we set our table and we live with royalty and majesty and in conversation and in the presence of hashem the shrina that is chuva cuba is the return the rambam writes and how do we do that what's the mechanism of the means says this we do that through boshes and we do that through shabbos so shabbos is not just it happens to be it's the last shabbos of the year it happens to be that shabbos comes before rosh hashanah next week will happen to be shabbashuva there is no happens to be shabbashuva shabbashuva is not just shabbos happens to fall within a series it's that shabbos is a catalyst it's a kickstarter shabbos is a a springboard for chuva because we set aside that noise and we isolate ourselves and we send time with the almighty with that intense sense of the shrina of clinging and cleaving to him of feeling his presence of cutting out all the distractions of realigning our priorities and our values of reminding ourselves the best of who we could be and what our lives could look like on shabbos which gives us the energy to bring it into the rest of the week so my dear friends as the shame ishmael and such said this is our shabbos vishafta through boshes we worked on that with slichos every morning this week and we'll return to sleekos next week that's boshes that's shame and that's guilt and that's honesty that's regret that's remorse that's commitment for the future that was a good hard look in the mirror that was being honest with ourselves and living with self-awareness that's boshes of the weekday but the same letters beauchas are shabbos shabbos is not about beating ourselves down shabbos is not about guilt shabbos is not about shame shabbos is about godless our greatness shabbos is about the presence of the almighty shabbos and vishafta shabbas is about going back to who we could be during the weekday the pursuit of the material the physical during the pursuit of more a name friends followers all of that set us astray shabbos is the shafter shabbos we return shabbos we come back shabbos we come home shabbos we lift ourselves up and we restore ourselves to who we could be all along so on this last shabbos first of all on this last friday let's take advantage on this last and final friday to truly turn friday into heir of shabbos and then let's spend shabbos with the true shabbos stay happy stay healthy and stay holy my friends see you next year next friday next era of shabbos will turn friday into arab shabbos in the new year have a wonderful shabbos everybody here comes the siren get ready don't be late
