Turn Friday into Erev Shabbos #90 - Two Shabboses Each Shabbos

good arab shabbos it is time to get ready and turn friday into arab shabbos i want to thank our generous turn friday of shabbos series sponsors for the emergency support fishman for freedom and memory of their journalists attacks or yakuza david here comes that siren it is time to turn friday into erev shabbas there we go thank you for joining us again i want to share with you from this week's parsha we are up to parshas ki sisa and whether you are listening to this on that partial or not it remains relevant nonetheless because this parasha includes the warning the reminder the beautiful gift the treasure of shabbos says the torah benedict observe and keep shabbos it is a sign it is an oath it is a symbol it is a covenant is a promise look around this world and people are overwhelmed and confused people are trying to make sense and figure it out people are fine trying to look for serenity and peace and there is no manuka we were given that gift were given that treasure of shambus it's an oath our attitude our relationship with it is a reflection of our covenant of our relationship with hashem himself but there's a peculiar word to why does it say in the plural as shab sosai multiple twofold shabbas shabbos is one day a week not two why is it hashem says first of all eliminates what is what is eliminating not for now but shabb society the multiple shabbos is observed so the ramban says multiple shabbos is means because there's many shabbos is a year this last chavez there's this shabbos there's next shabbos since there are many shabboses the ramban writes tom we have 52 shabboses a year there are many shabboses so it's given in the plural not in the singular but the salva cabal reactivity mecklenburg has a different insight and that's what i want to share with you today a very brief turn friday into arab shabbos special edition and that is cesar of akov c mecklenburg the xava kabbalah shabb so aside there are two shabbos in every shabbos there is the negative part of shabbos there is what we refrain from abstain from there are the restrictions there are the llama tests there are the creative labors that we don't do we are at peace with nature and so we do not plant and plow and winnow we do not cook and bake we do not use electricity and drive the car there are the 39 precepts 39 prohibitions 39 creative labors there's the element of shabbos which is shamur we are observing we are safeguarding we are keeping but then there's another part of shabbos there's a second shabbos we all keep and that is zahor there is the positive part of shabbos the flavor and the meaning the attitude and the demeanor the joy and the satisfaction the serenity and the tranquility there are the zemiros and the stories and the games and the time and the dive torah there's the rest physically emotionally spiritually shabb so aside there are two parts there is the physical component we physically abstain we physically refrain we have to learn there are 39 melakas they're complicated they're difficult and then there is the spiritual shaman the body rests and the soul rests that frantic frenetic life of things buzzing and beeping are answering are always going and doing the busyness of life and the obsession and addiction to busyness we abstain we refrain our body is at rest but so must our soul be emotionally we move a little slower spiritually we breathe deeply and we slow down so we rest physically in order to create a platform and atmosphere to promote resting spiritually so if all you do is rest physically but you never achieve the result of resting spiritually you haven't fully kept shabbos says hashem so said to shemaru keep both of my shabboses foreign say that's what it means namara says eelu if only we could keep two shabboses miyad nigal and we would immediately be redeemed does it mean last week and this week this week and next week does it mean shabbat sheba shabba all kinds of interpretations suramaq and dosham say you know what it means it means the two shabbos is of society if we could keep if the jewish people would only observe both elements and both parts of shabbos if we keep them we observe not only the negative but the positive to get ready to be excited to count down to prepare to be able to emotionally and spiritually lean in and invest and marinate and become saturated with shabbos not just on the clock say yes 25 hours i didn't do malacha check 25 hours i didn't cook i didn't heat i didn't separate the jelly beans 25 hours i didn't turn on a light it's not just a check mark next to what i didn't do the show more but can we put the check mark next to the zahor did we create that atmosphere and that attitude did we tap into and are we changed did we prepare and did we save her and did we not want to let go did we hold on to shabbos on mozai shabbos so you see this beautiful insight of the xava kabala just keep shabbos just keep shabbos doesn't just mean the physical and the labor part of shabbos but it also means the attitude and the demeanor the zakhar part of shabbos that's what needs the most work if we want it to be lador osama if we want generations to love and to keep and to count down to shabbos then that's what we need to project also is that love and that energy of shabbos and it begins begins now on friday turning it into arab shabbos shabbos is so great we love it so much that even before the israel even before the negative refrain passive start begins we are already actively involved in vested tosafeshabas not only do we accept shabbos early technically we accept shabbos the theme of shabbos when we turn friday into arab shops when we set our table and we play that music change our clothing when we are prepared even earlier wishing everyone a beautiful a holy a happy a helix shabbos observe and keep both parts of shabbos if we can all keep both parts of shabbos then amir hashem will have the gula have a great shabbos [Music] shabbosa everybody
