Shabbos Shira A Space For Song | Rabbi Binyomin Weinrib

Anyone who has this to look in the psukin of oz yasha that we're going to lane this shabasha shabashira will notice something unique about the structure of these psukin the garra and migillah calls it a half a brick on top of a full brick that the way the psukum need to be structured in the tyra is with large amounts of space of white cloth in between the psukim leaving it looking like bricks being piled on top of each other why what about a shield causes it to have this gap this white space this cloth extra gap in between the says that if you look back to the beginning of Israel going into we find that the are written in a way that called it a para as opposed to there being a gap a space of a few letters in between the two paras the paras are squished together with one being incapable of seeing where parasash ends and par begins it's one long runout sentence says it's not just the way the are written but that is What gullis is gullus is one long run-on sentence. Gullis says when a person's so caught up in the rat race when a person's so involved in the avoid that they're doing that they don't have the ability to stop and think the white space the gaps and the paras kazal tell us were there in order to allow the time to contemplate to think and to review over what the rob told them the inability to have time in our lives to stop and think to be able to stop and to contemplate to breathe and to be able to think about what we're doing that itself is a representation of gullis says this fasam is therefore the song which represents the gula O Yasher and every song needs to contain within it not just a regular amount of white space but an abundance of white space because a song can only be created when a person is able to stop and to think and to contemplate to have the yeshiva the peace of mind to sit properly that's where a song is able to be created that's where a song is able to be sung says this as we left mit the gaps became wider and wider and it gave us the ability user to stop and to sing the song of us yasher to stop and to recognize what gula really looks like. Shabas is that concept of neg shabas is the idea especially shabashira of being able to stop and to sing. During the six days of the week, a person's too caught up in moving from place to place. A person doesn't have the proper yeishadas to sing songs properly. Comes in shabas. Shabas allows us to sit with our families by the suda. Shabas allows us to have the time and the peace of mind to be able to sing the good. Shabas allows us to breathe more. Shabas allows us to stop to have that extra gap, that extra white space to be able to sit and to contemplate what our purpose is, what our tlas is, what we're really here for, and to be able to connect to the through the power of song. The of Shabashira is the ability to stop, to sing, to find that white space in our life to be able to sing songs properly. Schlma Fryfeld once caught a few of his students sitting in a nakosha restaurant eating nakosher food and the students saw Fryfield eyeing them through the window and they were nervous about what the consequences were going to be once they got back to yeshiva sure enough called them out of the classroom but instead of going ahead and giving them a punishment told them walk with me down the block they walked down the block went to shashiva and walked into a slur store he picked up a few zabas who bought it for all of them and brought them back to the classroom they sit down on their desks having no clue what's going to happen And tells him open up to this muscul begins singing with them and teaching them the he goes ahead and begins singing with them this niggan again and again. And the boys are sitting there learning and singing the niggan again and again. And finally one of the boys stops and gives a big sign and says rebi if I felt this way all the time I would never do another in my life. This is what those mirrors of Shabas are. Those mirrors of Shabas mean that we have the time to sit and to contemplate. Not to be caught up in the not to be caught up in the run sentences of the six days of the week. Hashem should help that we should go ahead and utilize this every Shabas and especially in Shabas to sit with our families to sing to remind ourselves what our is and by utilizing that power of the enem to be able to take that with us throughout the six days. Have a great Go baby.
