Description

Razah D'Shabbos - P9 - Essay: Avodas Hashem B'Olamah Shel Shabbos What do the 39 melachos (forbidden labors) have to do with the creation of the world? How is it that building the Mishkan (tabernacle) did not supersede Shabbos, but bringing sacrifices does? Every Shabbos is a return to the Beis HaMikdash and thus to Gan (the garden of) Eden. The expulsion of man from Gan Eden is repeated every motza'ei Shabbos. A disconnect between the emunah (faith) in our head and the way we behave all day long. Caught up in the "daito shel nachash" - the way of the [original] nachash (snake). We live in teh world of "exchanges" - there's a switch between Shabbos and the six days of the week.
