Listen "Ep. 33 - What is Menucha?"
Episode Synopsis
Are You Really Resting on Shabbos?When we think of Menucha, we imagine a nap, a break from work, or finally slowing down. But is that what Shabbos rest really means? If so, why does the tefillah of Atah Echad speak of Menucha as something deeper—Menuchas Ahava, Menuchas Emes Ve’emuna?This episode challenges everything we assume about Menucha. True rest isn’t about stopping work—it’s about reconnecting to the source of life. When we exhaust ourselves in physicality, we become disconnected from our neshama, leaving us drained. That’s why Shabbos Menucha isn’t just about sleep; it’s a return to our spiritual core, a moment when the Shechina gives us the strength we’ve lost during the week. Through a powerful analysis of Chazal, Rabbi Klapper reveals how Menucha is not just a break—it’s the deepest experience of vitality we can have. If you’ve ever felt physically rested yet spiritually empty, this shiur will open your eyes to what true Menucha really is.Hosted by Rabbi Ari Klapper and produced by Eli Podcast Productions, this episode is part of the Real Judaism series, available on RealJudaism.org.
