Why the Torah Mentions Fire on Shabbos: A Lesson About Anger | Rabbi Blum Anchel

Shalom. In Parshas Vayakhel, it says, "Lace varo aish b'chol moshavoseichem b'yom haShabbos." You should not make a fire in your home on Shabbos. So, the question is, uh of all the 39 prohibitions, why is fire mentioned separately? The answer is because fire is a symbol of anger. >> [music] >> And the Torah is telling you that on Shabbos, don't get angry. So, the question is, you're never supposed to be angry. So, why why is Shabbos different? And the answer is because you're not busy with work and you get together with family, so there's a greater danger that you might get upset. So, the Torah is reminding us, remain calm on Shabbos. And in that z'chus and that merit that remain calm on Shabbos, Hakadosh Baruch Hu should send all of us a a good health and good livelihood, uh peace in the home, and Torah learning, and everything that we need. And the Jews around the world should be safe. Thank you very much.
