Description

Razah D'Shabbos - P36 - Essay: Petichas pnimius ha'adam beShabbos. The three components of creation and their respective central aspects. Six midos (traits) surround the six days of the week which correspond to the 6,000 years of this world. A different type of life, at every level, on Shabbos. The ta'anug (pleasure) of Shabos which connects to me'ein olam habah (a taste of the world to come). Understanding how the nefesh (soul) can possibly connect to "lechah Hashem ha'mamalchah" (KIngship is Yours, Hashem) in this world. If Shabbos is absolute rest, then what is the nature of the human being who is in a state of complete suspension? Everything, except man, received its entire existence through one of the ten utterances of creation. It is only with the exhaling of Hashem's breath that adam became Adam.
