Turn Friday into Erev Shabbos #151

good Arab Chavez today is not Friday today's era shabba's the first air of Shabbos of the new year and I'm so excited to be together with you to turn our Friday into Arab Shadows a big thank you to mending support Fishman dear friends and generous sponsors and as I mentioned this is our very first turn Friday into our Shabbos of the new year as this is Eric Shabbos Shiva the first Shabbos of the new year and it's very significant the first job is of the new year because as we share every year is brought down from many tsadiqam that there are exactly seven days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and that's not a coincidence at all those seven days correspond with of course the seven days of the week and each day of a series corresponds with that day of the whole year so Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday and so on each day when we Embrace that day and lean into that day and live fully that day we can make up for we can atone for we can repair however we fail to live in the entire last year which means today on air of Shabbos this Friday every Friday we observe there's a Friday rather than a number of Shabbos every Friday that we procrastinated and delay we ran late and we rushed into Shabbos every Friday that we utilized every minute of our 18 minutes every Friday that we didn't play music and have a a dance and that we didn't Skip and that we weren't excited we didn't have advantoro we didn't have a story we didn't come with zumirus the shabba's table this weekend we could fix it all can repair it all these are the Isme chuba this is that day this Friday corresponds with every Friday of the Year previous and now when we turn our Friday into Arab Shabbos it's kiilu retroactively we've turned them all into Arab Shabbos so this is the day lean in take advantage make the most of it plan your day let Shabbos find you waiting not the opposite be ready be prepared light candles early come to school early learn a little something before enjoy some wonderful here in BRS our amazingness Oxford minion is inviting everyone to a new practice to our mouth 15 minutes before a little something to eat some Shabbos Food bring Shabbos the taste of Shabbos the flavor of Shabbos the aroma of Shabbos bring it in early with all the value of Tom now as we've studied and learned about in the past this is our chance to really embrace the Friday fully and to turn our Friday into a beautiful and a real pair of shops I want to share with you a teaching I saw and he says the following very interesting idea has the ability to lift and to exalt and to enrich and to empower all the weak days and the weekdays if we don't live properly and we don't live longingly and we don't live anticipating Shabbos they can bring down Shabbos if we didn't shop and we didn't cook we didn't prepare we didn't set the table we're not ready if we're rushing in or we're filled with Rage or anxiety or Envy or jealousy or arrogance those are all antithetical those all push away Shabbos and repel it away our entire week has to be oriented around Shabbos we look forward to we long for Shabbos is the makor bracha it's the source of and Shabbos is the tacos lamasa Mauritius Shabbos is the reason that we do it all it's why we work it's why we put in the time it's why we do everything that we do the talkless the payoff is Shabbos as the Zora Carter says I never heard this before listen to this we make Shabbos there's the part of Shabbos that happens to us that when the Sun goes down on Friday we're Bound By The 39 categories of creative labor there's the passive part of Shabbos that we can't violate Shabbos happens to us but then there's also lassos there's also the part of Shabbos that we make that we create that we do the active proactive part but there's another interpretation the zohara cutter says don't read it Shabbos is our home address Shabbos is ardira it's our dwelling place it's our home address and just like every time you go on an Excursion you go on a tool you leave your house you go out for dinner you go on a business trip you go out to work you go out to school but all throughout that day you know in the back of your mind if not explicitly implicitly you know eventually I'm going home I have a place that I live that I've unpacked that I identify with my life it's where I get my mail it's my ZIP code it's my address that's where I live so however where do we live do you live in the weekday or do you live in Shabbos do you live in Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday or do you live in the Holy Shabbos do you live in work at the gym at the supermarket in the boardroom in the operating room or do you live around your Shabbos table where do we live Le dorosos because when you have adira right if you go along the mirror you live in adira Nadira near the Yeshiva adira means where's your apartment where's your bed where do you sleep where can I find you where can I drop off your things where can I deliver your mail what do you identify as your home was your home base kanu Shabbos from the second we make Abdallah when we make Abdullah we're getting in the car and we're leaving home because we have to you got to go to work you gotta go on a drive you gotta run errands you may even have to go on a vacation you may go on a business trip so from the second we make we are out of our home we're on the road doing important things we mean to be there we want to be there we may even enjoy being there however the whole time that we're there what do we know I'm gonna go home I belong at home I'm gonna return home home is where I where I belong from the moment we make in seven days I'm going back home how many days left till I go back home the yamasham is kotish and my feeling even when I'm on vacation family trip as much as I enjoy and of course like everyone I enjoy but as much as and while we enjoy there's also something special to go home to sleep in your own bed to operate out of your own closet to be able to be back in your own house there's something about being home so for a yid Shabbos is home that's natural state that's our home address that's our identity that's who we are that's how we want to live we want to live with Shabbos we want to live with all of our troubles and all of our to-do lists and all of our tasks sitting up there on the Shelf we'll come back down after Shabbos but where I live is where I live is the tacos of my sebritious where I live is around my Shabbos table singing his mirrors telling the ray Torah telling stories asking thought-provoking questions connecting interpersonally hosting guests and ensuring that everybody has a place for Shabbos and for yantiff that's where I live lying on the couch and reading a magazine sitting at the table and learning is safer playing a board game with my family on Shabbos that's where I live that's my life that's where I live I go out on the road it's a beautiful Zoo some turn Shabbos into your Dira turn Shabbos into your address turn Shabbos into your home into your home very days if we do that if we make Shamus our address our home our identity then all week long we're looking to go home and when the weekday ends we might have enjoyed where we were but we're excited and looking forward to going home so what is the attitude this is the first Shabbos of the year the first air of Shabbos of the Year those around us our family friends or neighbor do they see that we're longing for Shabbos look forward to shopping so that's where they can find us that's home or do they think that we're guests at Shabbos home is the weekday home is work home is to do home is technology which is home for you which is more natural which do you identify where's your male scent what's home in this year for all of us Shabbos should be our home address it should be our deer it should be our home address it should be where we're most comfortable it should be where we belong it should be what elevates us and on this Shabba Shiva Shabbos osios BOCES Shabbos osis chuva it's the same letters Shabbos we go into Shabbos and we can repair and we can return and we can restore and we can reboot Shabbos gives us that strength that energy there's no Sleepless you have to wake up earlier than usual and Shabbos there's no video there's no Hashem is for 25 hours we escape that's the ultimate chuba not a chuva a fear not a tuba if I'm sorry but a chuva of now we're living the love that we knew we were capable of having Mirza it should be not only this Shabbos every Shabbos be prepared take advantage lean in turn today this Friday and every Friday into Arab Shabbos go put on some music go schedule to be ready early go set up the candles go set the table go enjoy some tomaja go prepare to have the Shabbos that's beautiful that's happy that's healthy and that totally have a great job salvation coffee shops have a great shout outs everyone
