Listen "5. Borrowing Money for My Oneg Shabbos"
Episode Synopsis
How far should you go to honor Shabbos? IRav Shlomo Katz explores the halachic and emotional tension between wanting to give Shabbos everything and being honest about our financial reality. Drawing from Peninei Halakha, the Rambam, and the words of Chazal, we learn when borrowing for Oneg Shabbos is a mitzvah, and when it crosses the line into false piety.This episode also opens the door to a deeper understanding of kavod Shabbos: clothing, cleanliness, and the quiet revolution of doing your laundry on Thursday, because sometimes the holiest preparations are the most practical.
