This Shabbos, the Light Comes to You | Turn Friday into Erev Shabbos #241

[music] [singing] [music] Shabas everybody today is not Friday [music and singing] of Shabas. It's of Shabas Khan. which is all this power, all this light all combined into one day. Don't neglect it and get ready for it and extract and draw everything you can out of it. This incredible combination, this amazing energy, this amazing light shabas all turn Friday into Shabas is generously sponsored by men in memory of Rabbi Lord Jonathan of Ben David Ary. Benar says turned to the Jewish people and he said I have this incredible gift and it's in my storehouse and it's called Shabas. It's called Shabas in that or in that gaz is the oragas. We know at the time of creation there was a great life the or hashem is the infinite endless light and there was this light of consciousness light of clarity light of confidence light of goodness light of purity. This light that is the light of the soul, the light of eternity, the light of the infinite, the light of Hashem and it's shone bright during creation put it aside the orhag the hidden light. But where is that hidden light? That hidden light is in Bazav. It's in that same place that Shabas that gift of Shabas comes from. So Shabas when a person enters you notice it says matanova. Hashem doesn't say I'm giving you the matanova. He says I have a matanova. I have a great gift called Shabas and it's in my storehouse. And the light, if you want contact with that light, that light of creation, that light of purity, the light of goodness, that light that has been filed away, the light that has been hidden, that light can be accessed and that light can illuminate on Shabas. But how does one do it? How do you make contact? How do you get that light? You have to enter Bazav. You have to go into that place. This matana, this gift, Hashem didn't take it out and give us the gift. He kept the gift in the storehouse because that's where the light is. We have to go in. We have to go into that place. And he says he heard this from his father used to repeat it from God didn't give Shabas as a gift. If we want to tap into, if we want to draw from, if we want connection with the light of Shabas, we have to go in. Shabas. If you want to taste a little bit of the world to come of Shabas, then it's not a gift that's handed on a silver platter. We have to do the work. We have to enter that space and that place. We have to be in that mindset. We have to live that life. And not everybody gets there. Not everybody taps in. Not everybody gets that bright light. However, writes in the name of that we also have that light. Theas we can return to, we can bask in, we can illuminate, we can feel the warmth and the fuel and the energy of that light. In this way is even greater than Shabas because Shabas you have to enter that place but the place enters you could light the candles lower than even 10. So an ordinary Shabas, every other Shabas, yet a Jew has to climb that ladder. A Jew has to enter that place. You have to get into Baz to get that light. You have to have the mindset. You have to prepare. You have to have the perspective. You have to be in that place in order to be able to get that light. But Shabas Khan, the light comes to you. We don't have to go into it. Shaban because the manora can be lit even below even below 10 even below where we said say the ordinarily doesn't dwell it does or shabas through the power of the combination of the lights of the shabas candles combined with the light of the monora of kaneka these combined lights let us access hashem in unprecedented and unparalleled ways ways they let us connect to hashem in places we ordinarily struggle or we can't always says the oils and the wicks that don't qualify to use on Shabas they qualify to use for Kaneka even though they don't meet the standard for Shabas but for Kaneka we can use even an oil an inferior oil or a wick and the Schlimmer Schladam and others say you see from here that even the Jew who struggles to connect for Shabas Shabas gets old. Shabas gets stale. Shabas is complicated. Shabas is a 25hour essentially tinus debor because you can't text or use technology. Even for the Jew, the Yu struggles to connect through Shabas. But Kaneka, every Jew can connect. The very oils and and wicks that you can't light for Shabas, you can light for. Nevertheless, they can have an aliyah. They can elevate. they can illuminate when it comes to and this says this is what we say are shabas and shabas is called or shabas is called light as kanaka is called light because it's the oragon is the hidden light the light of the manura that we continue to burn two of them together are called the gdole and the gift of osa gdole the two great lights of shabas and of khan Today is not Friday. Today of Shabas and it's not just of Shabas, it's Arab Shabas and even if an ordinary Friday you struggle to get into it. You don't have a skip in your step and you're not preparing a Torah and a story and you're not looking forward in savoring Shabas. Even that person the Yid who doesn't get lit by Shabas can get lit by Khan and the combination of these lights wah so bright. We can see things that we struggle to see. We can dispel so much darkness. We could connect in such a deep and deep way. So wake up. Wake up for the Shabas Khaneka. You know chauffeur rashana. We wake up through the alarm, the sound of the chauffeur. Khaneka, we wake up because when someone turns the light on in the room, you say, "Oh, I'm awake. I'm awake." We would light, we light it up and we wake up. So wake up for the most beautiful Shabas, the Hashabas, a holy Shabas, a healthy Shabas, a happy Shabas, a Shabas Khan, a Shabas Khan that's new beginnings and fresh start that's built on this combination of this light. Let us live a light and lit life, a happy, a healthy and a holy [music] [singing] >> [music] [singing] [music]
