PREPARING FOR AN INSPIRATIONAL SHABBOS

In this week's parsha, parshas Emor, we find all the parshas of myadis, yamim tovim, sukkos, shavuos, pesach, even erev pesach. But what's very interesting is the torah starts off the parsha of myadis with shabbos. How does shabbos come in to the parsha of yamim tovim? Rashi already asked the shaila. But even furthermore, it doesn't it's not just brought in the parsha of myadis. The torah says this is the parsha of myadis. Torah may saw of matal mayadi Hashem. Then the possuk says, "Eleh hem moadei." These are the yamim tovim. "Sheishes yamim tei'asu melacha." "Eleh hem moadei." These are the yamim tovim. Shabbos is a yom tov. So agav, I want to share with the listeners something that's relevant to whether you make kiddush or you listen to kiddush every Friday night in kiddush. We say the words "techilah le mikra'ei kodesh." In the brocha of kiddush you say "techilah le mikra'ei kodesh." What's "techilah le mikra'ei kodesh?" So the tour in his first shot explains that shabbos is the first on line "le mikra'ei kodesh" in this week's parsha. So Friday night by kiddush, "techilah le mikra'ei kodesh" in this week's parsha, shabbos is the first in the list of mikra'ei kodesh. "Techilah" it's the first. Al ponim the shaila is, why is shabbos mentioned in the parsha of moadei of yamim tovim? My grandfather, Reb Mordechai Yudel Lubart, he was the talmid Yeshiva S'chas Malvlin, says the following Al Pi Yesoid that the Sfas Emes says, Yom Tov is Mikra Kodesh Mikra'ei Kodesh, Mekadesh Yisroel v'Hazmanim, which means that Klal Yisroel are the ones to bring upon Yom Tov. You see, if Klal Yisroel is not Mekadesh the Chodesh till the next day, Pesach is a day later. Klal Yisroel is the one who decides when Yom Tov should be. Mekadesh Yisroel v'Hazmanim. Mikra Kodesh, Klal Yisroel is the one who calls Yom Tov Kodesh. Ma She'einko Shabbos, Shabbos is not like that. Shabbos comes every seven days. It's not dependent on us. It's not dependent how we have the calendar. Every seven days is Shabbos. Says the Sfas Emes, but by Yitzias Mitzrayim, Klal Yisroel added to Shabbos. Shabbos used to be only Zecher l'Maaseh Bereishis, now Zecher l'Yitzias Mitzrayim. So, maybe there's something more also. These are hoisafa. Ad Kan, says my grandfather Al Pi Yesoid of the Sfas Emes. I would like to add on a bit more, which I feel would be the gayla maysadic to everybody. Shuru, Shabbos comes every single week. We don't plan it. It's not an It's not dependent on our calendar. However, the more a person prepares for Shabbos, the more he could connect to Shabbos, the more he could get out of Shabbos. I want to share with you the words of a Talmud of Rabbeinu Yonah. The kasha ro'eh ha Shabbos eihu mishtadel when the Shabbos Kodesh sees how much effort you put in to get the bracha of Shabbos he mikarei bracha as kamayim ha panim la panim will be tashbi all of meheira mehaida the Shabbos will shine back will give more more bracha to the person. Meaning to say that Shabbos even though Shabbos comes every 7 days not dependent on us but it is we are mikra kodesh we could decide how much to reflect how much to get from the Shabbos. The more we prepare the more we get everybody in their level. Some people some people stop working by chatzos. Everyone in their level. The Rambam says preparing for Shabbos means that you yoishiv umetzapah you wait for Shabbos to come. It's not that rushing flying the last second by the here making it is it almost the shkiya. That's not called kavod Shabbos that's not preparing for Shabbos. If a person wants to be able to tap into the bracha of Shabbos mikra kodesh that's why it's like Yom Tov it's dependent on us how much effort we put in to prepare for Shabbos. The Baal Shem Tov says baharish uvakatzir tishbot baharish harish is rashei teivos the three letters the ches the reish and the shin ches is chamishi reish revi'i a person himself Wednesday Thursday Friday then tish and you can get the Shabbos as the offer the reason why it's in this week in in the parish of Yom Tov true it's different than Yom Tov that Yom Tov a person a brings upon the Yom Tov as opposed to Shabbos but it's a lesson that we also could and should bring upon the Shabbos to be able to be to Shabbos the brocha of Shabbos have a wonderful Shabbos.
