Hashem wants to see if we are willing to put our ?money where PUT YOUR ?MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS? our mouth is?. It is easy to talk the talk, saying we love Shabbat, by THANKS TO RABBI DOVID HORWITZ going to shul and reciting passages as to the greatness of the Page 118 in gemara Shabbat promises wonderful rewards to those Shabbat, but this does not require of us a major investment. Only who observe and delight in the Shabbat. Rav Yochanan said in the when we are willing to walk the walk, to spend money on the name of Rav Yossi, ?Anyone who delights in the Shabbat will receive Shabbat, to toil for hours in the kitchen, making the Shabbat meal an inheritance without borders.? the highlight of the week, then Hashem sees how much we truly Rav Yochanan later says that one who observes Shabbat will have love Shabbat. Hashem responds and says, ?Just as you have gone his sins forgiven even if they are of the severest nature such as beyond limits by spending time, money and effort to beautify and to idolatry. What is the difference between being shomer shabbat, delight in my Shabbat, I will reward you in kind, with a portion in the observing the Shabbat, and being me?aneg Shabbat, delighting in world to come without limits." the Shabbat? It was this in specific, and Jewish family life in general, that The gemara asks how one is me?aneg shabbat and answers that it inspired Bilaam Harasha in this week?s parsha to bless us with one of is by serving special foods in honor of Shabbat. Shemirat Shabbat the most famous passages known to the Jewish people, ?M a tovu refers to adhering to the laws of Shabbat by not cooking, not ohalecha yisrael? ? how good are your tents, Yisrael,? ! driving, not writing, etc. Oneg Shabbat manifests itself by eating.

It is interesting to note that regarding Yom Tov, there is a tannaic dispute as to whether there is an obligation to eat and drink. There is an opinion that maintains that one can dedicate the entire day to Hashem, like Yom Kippur. However regarding Shabbat, all agree that one needs to eat and drink to fulfill the of Oneg Shabbat.

Regarding Shemirat Shabbbat, the gemara promises a finite reward, forgiveness of one?s sins. The reward does not go beyond that. One who delights in the Shabbat, one who eats and drinks and enjoys a good portion of and , receives a reward without limits. Why is that? Certainly it is far harder to observe the shabbat with all of its intricate laws than to sit down to a lavish shabbat meal. Why should the reward for eating and drinking be greater than the reward for keeping the laws of Shabbat?

The Bet Yosef in siman 242 explains that the reward is commensurate to the deed. Shemirat Shabbat, keeping the ?the do?s and don?t?s? of Shabbat, are finite and well defined. They have clear parameters. There is no room to embellish or to build upon them. However Oneg Shabbat, eating and drinking, requires investing money.

A person can buy a 20 shekel bottle of wine or he can beautify with a 100 shekel bottle of wine. One can ?observe? the mitzvah of kiddush just as well, on the 20 shekel bottle. But when one makes kiddush on the 100 shekel bottle of wine and enjoys it more, he is ?delighting? in the Shabbat!

There is no limit to how much money a person may spend to honor the Shabbat meal. Those that look at the Shabbat as their bride, will be happy to spend more on the wedding meal. Those that look at the Shabbat seudah as a burdensome meal to through, will be less inclined to ?waste? money on fine foods. ? ?

Even he attested to his flagrant disregard of the Rabbis of the rest of the prophecy, a return to glory for Jerusalem. of his youth. But a thoughtful moment spent observing the persistent drip of water onto a rock was his Eureka moment, transforming him During the Bar Kochba revolt in 124 CE, Jerusalem and much of and leading him toward the study of the Torah.

On Daf 111 the M ishna discusses medicinal activities that are permitted or prohibited on Shabbat. This is determined by whether or not the behavior is regular or irregular.

The M ishnah concludes that only princes can use expensive rose oil on shabbat because it is their usual manner during the week. Rabbi Shimon disagrees and permits all of the Jewish people to use rose oil as ALL of the Jewish people are princes. (It should be noted that Abaye in Bava M etzia 113 attributes this statement to no less than three separate Tannaim.)

During the time period of the Tannaim, some Jews represented the wealthy class but in reality they were not a princely people with their own sovereignty. This raises a problem over Rav Shimon?s statement and, in fact, the Gemara questions if Rav Shimon?s position has halachic value. ??? ? ?? (Friday 26 June) Contemplating Rav Shimon?s statement we must admire his Thanks to Jonathan Pelzner idealism. He believed that as we cannot distinguish between Jews, Halacha must be democratic and provide all the same value. The gemara on daf 112 continues the discussion of tying knots on shabbat. The gemara discusses a number of different types of knots Following the destruction of the second temple, Chazal were forced and the halachic status of those knots. to revitalize halacha with much of the Jewish people in exile. At a dark period in our history, Rav Shimon chose dignity, equality, The halachic status for tying various types of knots has three flexibility and longevity. categories. The first type of knot is the ?shoemakers? knot for which one is liable a chatat.

Rashi explains that the rabbis would tie their sandals loosely and slip then on and off but it was not a knot which was ??? ? ??

The Gemara here explains that one should change his clothes to remove ashes from the M izbeach and change back into his The third type of knot is the knot tied by the people of M echoza clean clothes to serve food or drink to a Chacham. The Daf continues and is ????. The people of M echoza were meticulous to tie the straps to explain how Chachamim should dress in non-patched and clean of their sandals daily. Consequently, it was necessary for them to clothes to elevate both their status and the status of Hashem. untie the knot at the end of the day in order to take their sandals off. These knots are allowed as they are completely temporary in nature We then get into a very interesting discussion about blowing the and were made to be untied the same day. Erev Shabbat versus if Erev Shabbat is Also Yom Kippur. And the Gemara concludes that when Yom Kipur is on Erev Shabbos, they do not Toke'a (blow the Shofar) at the beginning of Shabbos and we learn that Teki'ah shows that the coming day is more Kodesh.

When Yom Kipur is on M otzei Shabbos, we do not say , in Shemoneh Esre because we learn that Havdalah shows that the day that ended was more Kodesh. The argument continues by saying if YK falls out on a Friday we should blow Shofar to let people know they can cut and rinse vegetables after on YK for Shabbat.

Rav Yosef says no we don?t override a Drabanan to publisize something that is permitted. When Yom Kipur is on Shabbos, Kenivas Yerek is forbidden. The question is, what is the source that when Yom Kipur is on Shabbos, Kenivas Yerek is forbidden? The answer is the Pasuk says "Shabaton" meaning cease. And what we need to cease is M elacha.

The Pasuk explicitly says "Lo Sa'aseh Chol M elachah" Rav Yochanan says When Yom Kipur is on Shabbos, Kenivas Yerek is permitted after M incha. ??? ? ?? (Shabbat 27 June) Thanks to Steve Wind In discussing the Shabbos restrictions on permanent knots andC LICK making creases in garments, the Gemarah teaches that it is HERE acceptable for one to honor Shabbos by dressing in the fashion of wealthy people and this is not considered an act of arrogance.

The Gemarah then learns from the pasuk ?If you keep your feet from breaking, from pursuing your affairs on M y holy day, and you call Shabbos a delight, the Lord?s holy day honorable, and you honor it by not going your own way, from attending to your affairs and speaking idle words? ( 58:13).

The words ?and you honor it? teach that your dress on Shabbos should not be like your dress during the week; ?going your own way? mean that your walking on Shabbos should not be like your walking during the week; ?from attending to your affairs? means it is prohibited to deal with your weekday affairs and to speak about them on Shabbos, however affairs of Heaven are permitted; ?and speaking idle words? means that your speech on Shabbos should not be like ?? ? ? ??

Daf 117 discusses the first M ishna of Perek 16 which continues a discussion about what can be saved from one's house in a fire. The M ishna teaches that one can save enough food for up to 3 meals on Shabbat depending on the timing of the fire and how many meals are left. In the Gemara?s discussion of the M ishanah it brings another baratia which discusses a case when someone forgot that their bread was baking in the oven and then Shabbat started.

The barita teaches the food may be removed but the bread cannot be removed with a baker?s paddle which would be the usual way to remove bread from an oven but instead use a knife. The Gemara wants to understand why a knife must be used and not the regular baker?s paddle? From Rabbi Yishmael?s understanding of the verse : ?? ? ? ??

M any commentators identify this as the transition the Jewish So why is this change necessary. The Gemara concludes that on People made from a miraculous to a natural reality and existence. Shabbat we try as much as possible to change the way we do things to show that Shabbat is different. The first episode that occurs in this more ?normal? reality is that of the complainers. The Shem M iShmuel quotes the Panim Yafot to ????? ? ????? ? ?? ??? ??? explain how it was the Jewish People could find something to as much as one can change one changes.
