Rabbi Moshe Haber Path of the Just Honoring Shabbat: Personal Involvement and Dedication 11.4.25 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

• 0:00
  For example, we boarded up slightly with the classic
• 0:03
  example of cavort is giving you respect in its thought
• 0:07
  specifically respecting Shabbat and holidays and making a big
• 0:12
  deal about Shabbat and holidays in our families and our homes,
• 0:15
  our children as a major thing as a major constitute being
• 0:18
  neighbor clause. Yes, Kibo the Shabbat thought
• 0:22
  they are mean to be a major in young in respect to Shabbat and
• 0:26
  the holidays. So all of my builders have done.
• 0:29
  Anyone who brings more Kabot to these days, Vada Hussain Naha,
• 0:38
  he's definitely, it's a strong word, definitely making Hashem
• 0:43
  happier, bringing Naha through, bringing good feelings, so to
• 0:48
  speak to Hashem. Why she can't see Vano?
• 0:51
  Because God give us a commandment, keep by the door.
• 0:54
  A person should respect Shabbat. So if you honor and give respect
• 0:57
  and build up Shabbat, you are making Hashem happy and you're
• 1:01
  expanding A mitzvah flat out, the Kevan Sheikhwat Ahmed LAN
• 1:06
  Sheikhwadur mitzvah. And because it's clear in this
• 1:09
  example, this topic, that the more respect you give to Shabbat
• 1:12
  and Shabbat is unique, and that is the Shabbat has a mitzvah
• 1:15
  called kavod sheba. There's no mitzvah called kavod
• 1:19
  ET trog. There's a mitzvah called do ET
• 1:21
  trog and do in a more beautiful way.
• 1:24
  This topic has a world. Shabbat now does have a world of
• 1:29
  cavodes, which means they have an area that you're fulfilling A
• 1:32
  mitzvah, you're doing a good deed every time you give it
• 1:36
  respect and every time you build it up.
• 1:38
  It's not just expanding A mitzvah.
• 1:40
  It's an independent category called cavo Quebec.
• 1:43
  That's a whole different world. See, these are the words he name
• 1:47
  meaner, cavo de rabimer. But the key to know is that
• 1:50
  there are many different ways you can give respect to Shabbat.
• 1:53
  There are a million ways you can get cavo to Shaba.
• 1:57
  All right, there are many ways. We're going to see a few in a
• 2:00
  second, and then we'll bring our own practical ways.
• 2:03
  Ah Haklavu. Even though there are many ways,
• 2:06
  there is a general concept should call massage Shabo.
• 2:10
  Every action is the key, not air Hashibut A Shabbat.
• 2:15
  Every action that we do that can show esteem to Shabbat, we
• 2:20
  should do sahim and Allah sotur we should perform.
• 2:23
  There are many ways to do it, but they'll have one theme,
• 2:26
  another action, another move, another level of excitement and
• 2:30
  building up the day. Someone can have, you know, you
• 2:33
  can imagine someone can have. It's fully prepared for them.
• 2:36
  Shabbat is totally set. They don't get involved.
• 2:39
  They have a caterer, they have a Butler, they have a maid.
• 2:43
  Whatever they are, they totally takes care of Shabbat.
• 2:46
  That's not good because they are minimizing your action.
• 2:49
  They are taking away action. You have to get involvement.
• 2:51
  There's so many class examples which will bring and I'll give
• 2:54
  you a couple as an island person, OK, how you are mean.
• 2:57
  How do you shun? This is why the gay rabbis, the
• 3:02
  rabbis and the Gemara or skiing by Hanoi, the Shabbat, they were
• 3:05
  personally involved in the pairing Shabbat ish ish mafid
• 3:09
  alco. And this is a key each person in
• 3:12
  their own way. And that can apply to us as
• 3:14
  well. Every one of us in our own way.
• 3:17
  I really read the examples Rabba Rabbao Javi Atev a doctor, is
• 3:22
  she not this rabbi I'd be about would sit on a stool of ivory
• 3:30
  and he's that means he's doing a hashoub item and fan the fire
• 3:35
  used to cook the Shabbat food. So he wouldn't you wouldn't just
• 3:39
  fan the fire. He would sit on an ivory stool
• 3:42
  to show that I'm doing something new point.
• 3:43
  I'm not in the kitchen getting dirty.
• 3:46
  I'm in the kitchen building something beautiful.
• 3:48
  So he would sit on a power impressive stool and you fanned
• 3:52
  the flames to cook the food for Shabbat.
• 3:55
  This is a rabbi from the Gemara, a man of one example, the be
• 3:59
  served of Safra Mikharish Mikharisha.
• 4:05
  He was singed the head of the animal of being prepared for
• 4:09
  Shabbat. We burn off the hair of the
• 4:12
  animal. That was his dedication to
• 4:15
  Mitzvah Shah. They all got involved in animals
• 4:17
  in different ways. Rabbah malak shibuta rabba was
• 4:22
  also classic Rabba nigamada. He would salt the fish of
• 4:26
  Shabbat. Avuna madlik shiraga avuna would
• 4:31
  light the candles. Rappapa kaidel petilta rappapa
• 4:37
  with twisted Wicks of his candles.
• 4:42
  Avista, each name over here our names and make up the Gemina.
• 4:47
  He's a matter of man. I don't know if light the
• 4:49
  candles meant they should buy candles or other candles in the
• 4:51
  house. Each man over here was literally
• 4:55
  a man of Ruach Hai Kodesh. They have stories in the Gemina
• 4:58
  itself, many of them of unbelievable miracles happen to
• 5:02
  them, unbelievable things they perform.
• 5:04
  Their wisdom was otherworldly wisdom.
• 5:07
  They didn't waste a second at light.
• 5:09
  They didn't spend time doing anything outside of them.
• 5:11
  It's fault only yet they would do these seemingly menial tasks.
• 5:15
  The reason that the Gemara tells us these men as the examples, as
• 5:19
  you could imagine in your modern day, if someone told you
• 5:22
  Khalvaja would sweep the floor, someone told you that it's the
• 5:26
  same thing. In fact, this is bigger than
• 5:28
  that. And the idea is these people
• 5:31
  didn't have to do it personally. Another example, Rafa kista
• 5:36
  parem sulka. This rabbi would say where
• 5:39
  Cristal would mince the beats. OK, dice up the beats.
• 5:43
  Rabat of yourself, Mitzel had Sibe Arvan and yourself would
• 5:48
  split the wood and cut the wood. Rahman, Mehratevi, El Mehratevi
• 5:53
  and Ahman would carry things of bundles of goods in and out of
• 5:57
  the house. Imagine you get the Casco order
• 5:59
  right and your wife tells you got the Casco order.
• 6:02
  You know the deal, right? What do you do?
• 6:04
  You run away. You hope the kadam is around and
• 6:07
  around during the Costco order. That's what I do.
• 6:09
  These rabbis, when they got to their Costco Arizona speak and
• 6:13
  it came to Shabbat, they'd be the ones who carried it into the
• 6:17
  house. And they were specifically
• 6:19
  interested and dedicated to do so.
• 6:21
  They wanted to do so, right, Ahmad?
• 6:25
  And they would say ilu mikalin lirabi ami vrabiasi Milo
• 6:30
  machatino camayo. If these are the words, if these
• 6:34
  rabbis, great rabbis are to visit me right now, I lift up
• 6:37
  the bundles in order to serve these rabbis.
• 6:40
  How could I not lift up the bundles in order to serve Hashem
• 6:43
  is Misrata Shabbat. This is a clear example of this
• 6:46
  idea of cavort Shabbat. And it's literally as clear as
• 6:49
  they. That's how clear it is.
• 6:51
  Now look at this concept of this rabbi's words.
• 6:55
  Hey, Kishore Nachman, shesunu me men of my we're going to draw
• 7:00
  from this rabbi's words, Kinaya Ahmed pornen.
• 7:03
  He would analyze his actions Maya OU selefita ricola damshu
• 7:08
  habitsa Abdul. He would consider his actions a
• 7:11
  cavort Shabbat, similar to cavort rabbis because it's my
• 7:15
  your server Shabbat. And this would be his mindset to
• 7:18
  his respecter Shabbat. The overall theme is that a
• 7:21
  person should realize when it comes to respecting Shabbat, you
• 7:25
  have to be all in and all dedicated and treated as if
• 7:28
  you're respecting the most powerful person, the most
• 7:31
  impressive person. I, I had an example, just to
• 7:34
  give you a personal example. I had an example where I had, I
• 7:37
  have this thing, I don't know why it happens.
• 7:39
  I collect, just come to my house, knock on my door and it's
• 7:42
  usually 11:00 at night on a Thursday night.
• 7:45
  OK, once a month, once every two weeks, whatever it is.
• 7:49
  And the guy came in, it was late at night.
• 7:52
  I believe it was. It was that late and he noticed
• 7:56
  that Khadamer was setting my Shabbat table dining room.
• 7:59
  I said I'm in the dining room. Khadam was saying my Shabbat and
• 8:03
  the guy had the guts. I called after the conversation
• 8:07
  about donation. He had the guts to say and I
• 8:09
  just have one more comment too. He was out in the Goya say
• 8:14
  Shabbat table. He said it's the holy thing.
• 8:18
  The letting didn't get down and shut the Shabbat table.
• 8:20
  And you know what? I put it on his shoes.
• 8:23
  He said it, I accepted his moussard.
• 8:26
  Is he absolutely right and from since then and how many months
• 8:29
  it's been You've been doing it. My kids have been doing it.
• 8:32
  Oh hey, sense No, I do my what do I do that even all right,
• 8:37
  I'll tell you what I do, but I do hopefully in my quiet count
• 8:42
  that out. Oh, hopefully I would ready my
• 8:45
  four eyes are I told you this before I turn off the fridge and
• 8:49
  make sure the lights off on the fridge.
• 8:52
  I set the earn pull the earn up. I put on the hot plate connected
• 8:58
  and I do my kids lights in their closet so they can have like a
• 9:03
  lamp from their closet. Isn't my things every single
• 9:05
  week without fail, and I do it. I had a small amount of things
• 9:09
  and several people have other things.
• 9:11
  Set the candles also. All right, that's also we do and
• 9:14
  you have the other things. Some people sweep, some people
• 9:17
  cleaning up, some people set the table.
• 9:19
  All these different examples of people go out and buy special
• 9:22
  foods, specialized food for survive, buy flowers, buy this,
• 9:26
  buy that. But the idea of being personally
• 9:28
  involved, paper is not enough. Paper is absolutely not enough,
• 9:36
  right? How many people are fighting
• 9:38
  shopping? They go to Ori's, they go to,
• 9:42
  they go here. A great rabba like these rabbas
• 9:49
  were able to think in this way. He wasn't coming to them.
• 9:52
  This logic, but wasn't that simple.
• 9:54
  The easily crew said, I understand cavort Shabbat, so
• 9:56
  I'll be very respectful to Shabbat on Shabbat.
• 9:59
  I understand cavort Shabbat, so I'll pay for it.
• 10:01
  For example, these rabbas understood cavort Shabbat.
• 10:04
  This example means to realize with my mind how important it is
• 10:08
  to be dedicated to the mitzvah and to come up in new ways.
• 10:12
  And the key thing over here is, is that every one of us has to
• 10:15
  have our own way. For you, it might mean buying a
• 10:19
  certain dessert. Someone else that might have
• 10:21
  mean it's at the table, literally that example.
• 10:24
  Or making sure you have the right publications for your
• 10:27
  family to read on a Friday night.
• 10:30
  Whatever it is that makes things more enjoyable for Shabbat,
• 10:34
  that's considered cover Shabbat. And you have to have your own
• 10:39
  spin. Don't just do the example I gave
• 10:41
  you, the example that I gave you can't be on spin by a dip,
• 10:46
  plastically special, I don't know, check the lights, make
• 10:49
  sure the air is right. You can't put your way.
• 10:52
  You're showing the own dedication to Shabbat and you're
• 10:55
  building out the mitzvah. And the more you dedicate, the
• 10:57
  more the mitzvah exists. We 72 and then we'll stop with
• 11:02
  the Kadesh and they come up with Humsaot different ways and all
• 11:15
  the ways that are possible to come up in new ways to show our
• 11:24
  great respect of Hashem, whatever we associate with God.
• 11:36
  And the big thing behind all this is if I set my timer and I
• 11:40
  check the lights in the fridge, and I do this every Friday just
• 11:43
  because I don't want to have a headache on Friday night.
• 11:45
  That's like about Shabbat. I have to see it as my version
• 11:49
  of bringing a kurban to Hashem. I had to see I had my way of
• 11:52
  glorifying Shabba, my way of building it up.
• 11:55
  You know, we're going into the months of and the months of
• 12:00
  early Friday nights. Early Friday nights can be seen
• 12:04
  as either the most beautiful thing or the most.
• 12:07
  I don't know. The plan thing is on the quite
• 12:11
  the simple how much going on the peaceful.
• 12:14
  Hopefully it depends how you spin it.
• 12:18
  And our job is to try to spin it regardless of our company or our
• 12:22
  situation. Try to spin it as something
• 12:24
  beautiful. I can make it sleep earlier.
• 12:27
  I can get more relationship out that way.
• 12:29
  That is, I can't spend time talking to my wife without much
• 12:32
  distraction. I can visit someone maybe in a
• 12:35
  Friday night before my meal right over.
• 12:38
  You got people over and listen to a class.
• 12:42
  You can do something right. You go.
• 12:43
  We have a a probably shot class, a lot of shoes.
• 12:46
  I probably shot classes in Friday night because of the
• 12:48
  earliest time. It's not a promotion.
• 12:50
  Everyone has it. But overall, you can build up
• 12:53
  your Shabbat and you can take what could have been seen as
• 12:55
  something that's bland into something that expands the
• 12:58
  beauty. You can spend more time by the
• 13:00
  table. You can sing.
• 13:02
  I'm not a singer. You're a singer.
• 13:04
  Dave be doing Miss Money a little bit.
• 13:07
  His money. I'm not a big singer, but I
• 13:10
  force myself to sing because it gets the kids involved, right?
• 13:15
  And you know, I'm sure you have it.
• 13:17
  Growing up, I had one sibling, you know, one sister.
• 13:19
  I love to sing. And some sisters, they could
• 13:21
  care less. My father always had that
• 13:24
  daughter by his side who would sing.
• 13:27
  And I pretty much have very similar.
• 13:29
  Some kids don't care, and one daughter that's got the page and
• 13:32
  got the number or knows the song and she knows the song.
• 13:35
  So there are ways to connect and ways to build and ways to egg
• 13:39
  about your bat. And that is our job to find our
• 13:42
  ways. That's what he's telling you
• 13:43
  right here. And you can expand the beauty of
• 13:46
  Shabbat to circle back to today's time.
• 13:49
  No 'cause this, especially because we live in a world of
• 13:52
  chaos, and especially because we don't all know the reason why
• 13:59
  things have gotten more chaotic over time.
• 14:01
  But we definitely know that technology has played a major
• 14:03
  role in the chaos and social media and hysteria have reading
• 14:09
  things and seen anything and knowing every clip of every
• 14:11
  crazy candidate and the whole deal has added the chaotic
• 14:14
  times. The one thing that they can't
• 14:16
  take away from Shabbat, hopefully they never will, is
• 14:20
  the ability to shut off and the ability to create beauty when
• 14:24
  you shut off. So as chaotic as the world is,
• 14:27
  Shabbat to never change. Therefore, there might even be
• 14:31
  more cover and more beauty and more sense of Ghanaian on
• 14:36
  Shabbat if we look at it that way.
• 14:37
  And that's Kabul Shabbat. When you shut off your phone or
• 14:40
  when you go into Shabbat and when you sit down, you say
• 14:42
  there's nothing I can do, there's nothing I can see,
• 14:45
  nothing I can get involved in. There's nothing I can change
• 14:47
  right now. There's nothing that older from
• 14:49
  me and the outside world, either from them to me or me to them.
• 14:54
  If you have that mindset, even develop a beauty.
• 14:57
  So back to today. No matter what happens today,
• 14:59
  you're always going to have that Shabbat minds that's going to
• 15:01
  cut out. No matter what happens in, up
• 15:04
  and out of business, you always have Shabbat.
• 15:06
  You come out and with that you build cavalt and you build them
• 15:09
  as far as a beautiful way. Stop with this.
