Make Shabbat Special!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have a mitzvah <\/em>(commandment) to honor and enjoy Shabbat1<\/sup>. Kavod <\/em>– honor, refers to preparations like cleaning the house, cooking, showering, and putting on nice clothes, whereas oneg <\/em>– enjoyment, refers to what we do on Shabbat itself, like eating foods that we enjoy2<\/sup>. Oneg <\/em>also refers to not thinking about stressful things that are happening throughout the week3<\/sup>. We learn this from the following words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u05e9\u05b6\u05c1\u05e9\u05ea \u05d9\u05b4\u05de\u05d9\u05dd \u05ea\u05b2\u05e2\u05b9\u05d1\u05b9\u05d3 \u05d5\u05b0\u05e2\u05b8\u05e9\u05d9\u05ea\u05b8 \u05db\u05bc\u05dc \u05de\u05b7\u05dc\u05b7\u05d0\u05db\u05ea\u05b8\u05da

“Six days you should labor and do all your work.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It is not humanely possible to finish all your work in 6 days, but this phrase implies that you should try to feel like all your work is done on Shabbat4<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Shabbat Look<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before Shabbat comes in, the house should be in a state fit for the arrival of special guests5<\/sup>. Tables should be covered with tablecloths and be set special, and Shabbat clothes should be worn. Even if a person is on their own, they should wear Shabbat clothes as a sign that they are honoring Shabbat6<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparing for Shabbat All Week Long!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shabbat preparations are so important that even Eliyahu HaNavi (the prophet Elijah) won\u2019t announce Mashiach\u2019s imminent arrival on Erev Shabbat (Sabbath Eve), so that people should not get distracted from their Shabbat preparations7<\/sup>. It\u2019s not below anyone\u2019s dignity to prepare for Shabbat – our great sages would be personally involved in Shabbat preparations8<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mitzvah of Shabbat is mentioned 7 times in the Torah9<\/sup> to teach us that all seven days of the week hinge on Shabbat and are dependent on it for blessing10<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are supposed to remember Shabbat all week long, and to prepare or set aside things for Shabbat. There are plenty of tasks that can be done all week long for Shabbat, like setting up the Shabbat candles, buying treats or special drinks, laying out the Shabbat tablecloth, polishing the silver, etc. Even a regular task like vacuuming or washing windows can be done lichvod <\/em>Shabbat – in the honor of shabbat! Look for ways to prepare for Shabbat during the week whenever you can!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shabbat on Time, Every Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 1939, Rabbi Yaakov Yosef Herman and his wife set sail for Eretz Yisrael with all their worldly possessions. Their lifelong dream of settling in the Holy Land was finally coming to fruition. Their ship was originally scheduled to arrive at Haifa port on Wednesday but was delayed and was arriving dangerously close to the onset of Shabbat. As they approached the port, loudspeakers blared urgent instructions. All passengers were to disembark immediately. Their luggage would be unloaded onto the pier, and everyone was responsible for claiming and removing their belongings as quickly as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making a swift decision, Rabbi Herman took only his precious Sefer Torah (Torah Scroll) case while his wife grabbed her handbag. They made their way through the crowded pier, seeking the head customs officer. They located a tall English officer who listened as Rabbi Herman explained his dilemma. \u201cI have never desecrated Shabbat in my life. To arrive in the holy land and desecrate it here is impossible,\u201d he pleaded, tears streaming down his face. Rav Herman continued, \u201cJust stamp our passports and let us through. We\u2019ll pick up our baggage after the Sabbath.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat would be impossible,\u201d the officer countered. \u201cWe are removing all the baggage from the ship and leaving it on the pier. Everything must be cleared off the boat before it leaves port.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI do not care about our baggage,\u201d Rav Herman insisted. \u201cJust stamp our passports so we can leave.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking bewildered, the officer asked, \u201cHow much baggage do you have?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSixteen crates in the hold and nine suitcases in our cabin,\u201d Rabbi Herman replied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer\u2019s expression turned incredulous. \u201cWell, do you realize that once you leave it here, your baggage will be on the pier with no one responsible for it? By tomorrow night, you will not find a shred of your belongings. The Arabs will have stolen them all.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rav Herman\u2019s voice rose with urgency, \u201cI have no alternative, it\u2019s almost time for the Sabbath. We must get to the city in time. Please, please just clear our passports and let us go.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Astonished, the officer called over a colleague and instructed him: \u201cStamp their passports and let them through. This Rabbi is willing to lose all his belongings in order to get into the city in time for their Sabbath.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hermans quickly caught a taxi and arrived at their hosts\u2019 home just as candle lighting time approached. Throughout that Shabbat, Rabbi Herman was spiritually elated. He repeatedly told his wife: \u201cThe Boss (Hashem) does everything for me. What could I ever do for Him? Now at last I have the zechut<\/em> (privilege) to give Him everything for Shabbat.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Shabbat concluded and they had completed the evening prayers and Havdalah ceremony, their host suggested, \u201cLet\u2019s go to the port. Perhaps some of your crates are still there.\u201d Though the Hermans thought they had little hope, they accompanied him anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The port was shrouded in darkness when they arrived, with only a small light visible in the distance. As they approached the illuminated area, they heard a crisp English voice call out: \u201cWho goes there?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome passengers from the boat that docked late yesterday afternoon,\u201d Rav Herman responded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guard came closer, \u201cWhat is your name?\u201d \u201cJacob J Herman.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, well, Rabbi. It\u2019s about time you put in your appearance,\u201d the guard exclaimed. \u201cI was assured that you would be here the minute the sun set. You are a few hours late, and I have been responsible for your luggage for more than 24 hours. My commanding officer said he\u2019d have my head if any of your baggage is missing. Kindly check that everything\u2019s in order and remove it all as quickly as possible\u2026 I am totally exhausted11<\/sup>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shabbat – The Source of All Blessings!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shabbat is the me\u2019en haberachah <\/em>(source of blessing) for the entire week, and in honoring it by being ready in good time, we enable these berachot <\/em>(blessings) to reach us in full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
