Description

Razah D'Shabbos - P12 - Essay: Tefillas Shabbos All of the prayers of the week that couldn't "get off the ground" are redeemed with the tefillos (prayers) of Shabbos. The two kochos (energies) that fueld a person's entire avodas (service of) Hashem. On Shabbos, yirah (awe) which pulls away, and ahavah (love) which draws near, can coexist because of "bedibur echad" (in one expression). How is it that mankind "completes" Shabbos? A time when the "bad" will ultimately be turned into good. Tasting the Shabbos food on erev Shabbos to determine if it is properly prepared. Eating, although life-sustaining, lies a tthe root of all chata'im (sins) and can be dangerous.
