Shabbat

Description

P. 43. Chochma (wisdom) is to connect to the etzem (essence) of the thing itself, not its multifarious details. On Shabbos the world is transformed into the palace of the King. The chochma person can pull the six weekdays into Shabbos. He lives with the neshama (soul) and essence of Shabbos. The bina person's experience of Shabbos is in the practical aspects of keeping the halacha, and might not even feel Shabbos. Chochma in inside while bina is outside. In his challenging avodah (work) of reaching to the place of knowing the essence of Shabbos, the bina person should not despair.
