Description

Razah D'Shabbos - P54 - Essay: Inyan Melaveh Malkah The correspondence of the tefillos (prayers) and Shabbos meals to the Avos (patriarchs). The great nisyonos (tests) of Yosef and Yehudah. The two Moshiachs, ben (son of) Yosef and ben Dovid; Leah and Rachel, emunah (faith) and da'as (understanding); bechirah (choice) and al korchachah (coercion). Where does the great inner strength of Jew come from? Emunah is not something we don't have and therefore have to acquire - it is built into every Jew, more powerful than any choice we could possibly make. What is the meaning of Melaveh Malkah? Shabbos is higher than any of the poor and improper choices we make during the week. Eliyahu HaNavi's (prophet) connection to Melaveh Malkah.
