I I heard this uh this story about the Rav Shach that he was once walking with a bachur on Shabbos and he they're walking in Bnei Brak and they get to the border of Bnei Brak and Ramat Gan. And when they get closer to Ramat Gan at the time and I don't know what this was, they see cars driving in Ramat Gan. So, Rav Shach asked the bachur, "Tell me, why is it that in Bnei Brak no one's driving on Shabbos, but in Ramat Gan they're driving?" So, the bachur says, "Well, because, you know, here we're frum, we're shomer Shabbos, and there they're not." So, Rav Shach said back, he said that that "No, that's not why." He said, "It's because the kedusha that we put into Shabbos, the efforts that we put into Shabbos goes as far as the borders of Bnei Brak. But if we were to put more into our Shabbos, more kedusha, more sanctity, more what into the Shabbos, it could spill over even to Ramat Gan." And he said that the kedusha slave, he said, "You know, why is it?" Kedusha slave, he said, "Why is it that you have Jews who are secular Jews all around the world? They don't go to shul once a whole year, but Yom Kippur they all show up. Rosh Hashanah they all show up. Why?" He said, "You know what he said? He said, 'Why? Because on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur frum Yidden put more into their davening, put more into the day, they more kedusha into the day so much so that it spills over to Gan Yisrael. We're not separate, we're all one, we're all connected. When we put in more, it can spill over that kedusha.'" What was the What was the Rav Shach saying? Rav Shach was saying this idea of like that there's a power to kedusha. Our kedusha that we put in, our how serious we take Shabbos, the kedusha that comes out of that can spill over to even areas that aren't even What does that even mean? But it's hard for me to even relate to that idea. Clearly, what Rav Shach is saying is that there's a there's a kedusha. There's a power to kedusha.
