Machshava:

Shabbat 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Shabbos

Description

8th shiur based on Rav Avraham Yitzchok Kluger's "Nezer Yisroel - Sichos Ma'amarim" Volume 1, p. 286 In the essay: Ziv HaShabbos, section: "Klum Chasser B'Veis HaMelech." How is it possible for a person living in reality to accept that, given the opportunity, we would not ask for anything other than being in the King's (Hashem's) presence? Is it conceivable that we would not ask for anything when so much is missing from our lives? No need for fancy glasses and pill boxes - because, b"H, he has perfect eye-sight and health. So many reasons why we don't need to be jealous of the other, but the greatest reason is Hashem's tangible presence in our lives. From the Tanya, chapter 46: seeing how much another person loves me influences my feeling towards them. How much our King loves us and wants to be connected to us; He kisses and hugs us with His Torah and mitzvos (commandments). Although it's hard to just leave our problems behind when we enter into Shabbos, we know that we reside with Hashem on Shabbos, and believe that Hashem runs everything only for our good.
