Machshava:

Shabbat 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Shabbos

Description

17th shiur based on Rav Avraham Yitzchok Kluger's "Nezer Yisroel - Sichos Ma'amarim" Volume 1, p. 318 In the essay: Ziv HaShabbos, section: "Havanas tirdas hachanah beyom hashishi" The time of passing from chol (weekday) into Shabbos and from Shabbos into chol. Do we work on the six days of the week, or is it "te'asseh" - the work is done on our behalf and we are merely vessels? On erev (eve of) Shabbos we are able to perceive our work as if it's being done by itself. The importance of the [short!] erev Shabbos nap. Understanding "shabbosdige" people. The holy times of erev and motza'ei Shabbos. A wrong way and a right way to enter into Shabbos. Bringing Shabbos into the week. The yetzer harah (evil inclination) to become upset is at its most powerful on erev Shabbos.
