a good nerve Shabbos it is not Friday at their Shabbos and we are here to turn Friday into air Shabbos Eric Shabbos a big thank you to our General sponsors mendians Christmas today's turn Friday entire Shabbos is also sponsored by Mark and Joanna Dennis A Memory of Jonah's grandfather you're doing shmuel because you're outside is the 12th of Adar and in memory of special Grandpa Israel Margulies by his children grandchildren and great-grandchildren of course our beloved member we remember Israel Margulies very very well and very fondly as I said this is a very special Shabbos it is not an ordinary shamas no Shabbos is ordinary of Shabbos by definition is extraordinary and unique unique because each of us is unique and different based on the week that we had the week that we will have who we are and who we are with but also that Shabbos the Torah reading that child is this week zahor that Shabbos Purim and all the above and this Shabbos is in the middle of the BRS Global campaign if you benefit if you enjoy if you are enriched by the Sheeran by the content by the podcast by the interviews please go to brsonline.org slash Global and do your part give something modest give something major but we need your help in order to continue to contribute our Parsha truma in tatava rather includes the Posse writes the vision is not talking about Shabbos at all but as the visionisters want to do he connects this beautiful to be describing and speaking about Shabbos foreign concludes the vision itself the way to read the possible is seventh day every seventh day I.E Shabbos the holy of holies of life is not to sit around forbison and miserable and burned and complaining and tired and yawning and rushing but to sit at a Shabbos table to sit at the Shabbos table to sing to laugh to tell stories in devritorah to ask questions and have conversation to sit at a Shabbos table that's called the shakadashem the holy of holies of life it's not not even in the basement the holy of holies of life is around that around that dining room table with our guests and with our family and with our friends and with our neighbors but to sit at that table to host others to sit at that table to inspire and motivate ourselves and others to be able to feel this that is the holy of holies of life that is the code begins not on Thursday or Friday it begins rather on mozai Shabbos so see come to finish that transition that inflection point where we go from the Holiness and sanctity of Shabbos back into the week where we're taking it with us we're bringing it out to the week Shabbos is the makor bracha it's a source of all blessing but we can't live entirely and only in Shabbos Shabbos is but it's not yet we're still living in Galas we're still living in the bahrina of the weekday that we have to work we're still living in a world of ghashmias that we have to navigate and we have to try to elevate so we have to go from Shabbos where we visit and we find The Refuge we go to Shabbos where we are invigorated but we have to bring it all back into the week and we do that through the messages of to see the depth of everything there's the external spice but then there's the fragrance the depth the panemius The Nair look to turn our fingers towards us our thumb underneath it to look at our nails but bent over submission we are surrendering to Hashem as we look at that fire the fire of Hashem we are cuff of we are bent over we submit we surrender to Hashem and we Delight ourselves on fire we have to live lives of a Yiddish kite we are on fire you can't be lukewarm if you're lukewarm the next generation is cold and if you're cold the next generation is gone you have to be on fire and Abdullah finally unwind is a straight narrow shemit there is no one nothing else but him is the Creator and we are the created and by being created we are a continuity and extension of Hashem by being created he gave us an independent value go take initiative Go and show go and conquer the world OD near and then says can be found Here There and Everywhere because you have to know where is he revealed more and to find the cling to Hashem specifically in the place of his most intense presence where we can feel him the most kesham is to invite us to tap into and have access to his Revelation to feel his presence and to feel that connection to him to feel that connection to him it's not something that we move on from and then you know too many people Shabbos ends and they're grateful they can't wait for Shabbos to end personally you should hold on to Shabbos as long as possible Joseph is not only at the very beginning of Shabbos the Mitzvah Shabbos extends and continues till after Shabbos don't be in such a rush hold on a little bit longer does anyone throw their children and grandchildren out at the end of that visit you say stay a little bit longer does anyone run from the vacation I'm so happy and relieved it's over I wish it lasted a little bit longer everything a little bit longer you Savor the presence the connection to be with others Hashem is the time that we are with Hashem is to be alone to have an intimate rendezvous with Hashem we just want to hold on to it a little bit longer we're not in a rush we're not running there's nowhere to go other than to be with him and the way we hold on don't run through don't discharge don't recite don't discharge Abdullah save or have Della the deeper messages and then there's beautiful afterwards there's a beautiful reborn that parallels the Friday night one it's a beautiful it's said between Friday night there's a parallel and I try to say it I don't always get it in but I try to say it every week to sit and to read that and to try to focus our aspiration and ambition for the week to try to collect what we received from Shabbos and to try to go into a week that we'll be proud of when that week ends I told you about a Kabbalah I made that Baruch Hashem had been able to keep to not look at my phone until after don't look at technology whatever texts or whatsapps or news releases or podcast releases is you'll see it after Abdullah what's the rush Savor Shabbos a little bit longer even if you said even if you turn down a light or you drove your car home from shul but still don't go on the device don't check the technology be immersed in a world that is of Serenity and tranquility and peace and pleasantness don't return yet don't return yet whatever the first thing you do after don't run what's the movie what's the TV what's the outing what's the caduce what's the holy act what's the holy activity I'm going to be involved in I'm a nivra Hashem created me so on Shabbos I surrender to him I do know malacha and Shabbos I recognize you're in charge you're in control I don't take I don't control anything but now that I re-enter a world where I take initiative now that I've re-entered the space of the kishua I want to go conquer your world Hashem I want to go make a difference as a nivra as a created that's going to now conquer your world what's the first thing I want to do what do I want to do when I'm asking will pick up next time with malava malka we're not yet done with the queen we're still escorting her we're still taking her we're not yet done with the queen so whatever is that first act as a nivra make it a holy act make it a meaningful act make it a righteous act I want to wish everyone a Happy Shabbos a healthy Shabbos a holy Shabbos a Shabbos to remember what matters and what's important so remember to get rid of the amalek the doubt and uncertainty in our lives and then to wish everybody a free looking and a happy and amazing amazing poem have a wonderful foreign
