Shabbat is rest: Shabbat is an island of calm in the storm of work, anxiety, struggle and tribulation that characterizes our daily lives during the other six days of week. For about 25 hours a week, the world literally stops: the business is closed, the car is parked, the phone stops ringing, radio, TV and computer are off, and the pressures and worries of material life fade behind a veil of peace. As we cease all development related to the physical world, our focus is on the inside, in the family and friends in our inner selves, our soul.
Shabbat is knowledge: On Shabbat we remember that the world is not ours to do with it whatever we like, but is the creation of Di-s. On Shabbat we also remember that God brought us out of Egypt s and decreed that we never again be slaves of any love-our work, financial and material needs are the tools with which we fulfill our divine purpose, not the masters of our lives .
Shabat es identidad judía: Shabat es la novia de Israel, el compañero espiritual del pueblo judío. Es una de las maneras de mayor alcance, de renovar nuestro judaísmo y transmitirlo a nuestros hijos. Hemos sido fieles al Shabat en cada lugar, cultura y circunstancia que a lo largo de nuestra historia de 4.000 años hemos visitado —desde los gloriosos días del Rey Salomón hasta la noche negra de Auschwitz. En las palabras de un famoso escritor judío, "Más que los judíos han cuidado el Shabat, el Shabat ha cuidado a los judíos. "
Shabat es placer: Shabat es una deliciosa comida, una mesa bien servida, el resplandor del candelabro, el dulce sonido de los cánticos, sueño pleasant. Throughout the week, we enjoy the blessings of life faces a challenge: we are physical beings in a physical world, and we must be ever vigilant that pleasure we sink into decay. But on Shabbat, body and soul are elevated to a higher level, a spiritual plane, so the joy of Shabbat with great food, drink and rest, becomes a mitzvah, a divine action.
Shabbat is spirituality: Shabbat is the soul of the week - the energy that revitalizes our week and the purpose towards which our efforts are focused. The Kabbalists teach: On Shabbat, all the actions of the previous week achieved its purpose and elevation Shabbat and all plans for next week are blessed. Observing the Sabbath blessing ensures Di-s to the success of our entire week, and gives purpose and meaning to our existence throughout the week.
Shabbat is to test the next world: "At that time there will be no hunger or war, no jealousy or rivalry. The good will be plentiful, and all delicacies abound like dust. The occupation of the whole world will be alone, know God -s.. "This is how the prophets and the sages of Israel describe the Messianic era -" the seventh millennium "which will be the culmination of six millennia of history and effort to make this world a" dwelling for Di-s ".
Shabbat gives us the chance to try this future world every week.
And just so that when we try something delicious, you can not really understand what Shabbat until you experience it for yourself.
