Listen "Ep. 31 - Erev Shabbos Nap "
Episode Synopsis
The Secret to a True ShabbosIf Shabbos is a time of unparalleled Kedusha, why do so many people feel disconnected when it finally arrives? You’ve set the table, the candles are ready, the food is prepared—but is that enough? The answer lies not just in what we do before Shabbos, but in how we prepare ourselves to truly receive it.In this episode, Rabbi Klapper unpacks the deep significance of Erev Shabbos preparations—not just as physical tasks, but as a spiritual avodah. Unlike other mitzvos, where our actions bring Kedusha into the world, Shabbos is different: Hashem brings the Shechinah to us. But if we aren’t ready to greet Him, what happens then? Through powerful analogies—imagine a chassan arriving at an empty wedding hall—he shows how anticipation shapes our experience. And what about the controversial Erev Shabbos nap? Is it just a luxury, or an essential way to ensure we honor Shabbos with full presence? Join us as we uncover the key to feeling the holiness of Shabbos instead of just going through the motions.Hosted by Rabbi Ari Klapper and produced by Eli Podcast Productions, this episode is part of the Real Judaism series, available on RealJudaism.org.
