Listen "Ep. 55 – In the King’s Palace"
Episode Synopsis
If Hashem is always everywhere, what makes Shabbos different? Why is it that the same actions done on Friday feel mundane, yet on Shabbos they carry such weight, depth, and holiness?In this rich and powerful episode, Rabbi Klapper deepens our understanding of Shabbos by comparing it to the royal palace of a king. Just as entering the king’s inner court demands heightened reverence, precision, and presence, so too does entering into Shabbos. Drawing from Chazal, halacha, and the physical reality of the Beis HaMikdash, we uncover the core idea: Shabbos is the space where Hashem’s malchus is revealed b’gilu. Not just in theory—but in experience. Rabbi Klapper explains how even if we can’t always feel this, we can act our way into awareness. Clothing, behavior, speech—these aren't empty rituals, they're ways to train ourselves to feel the awe of being in Hashem’s presence. Just as the Beis HaMikdash reshaped the people who entered it, Shabbos can reshape us—if we let it.If you’ve ever wondered how to make Shabbos feel holy—not just look holy—this episode gives you the roadmap. It's not about changing Shabbos. It's about letting Shabbos change you.Hosted by Rabbi Ari Klapper and produced by Eli Podcast Productions, this episode is part of the Real Judaism series, available on RealJudaism.org.
