Machshava:

Shabbat 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Shabbos 2001

Description

The weekday persona is destroyed to give rise to the Shabbos Jew. Spiritual progression requiring the destruction of the previous levels. The sleeping on Erev Shabbos and Shabbos act as transformations from one level to another. The weekday relationship with Hashem as His children versus the Shabbos relationship as His Bride. The pain of moving to a new level and the ultimate rewards. Chanukah includes defeating the bad and lighting up the good. The two different world approaches of Beis Shammai and Beis Hillel.
