1st early shabbos - change clock. Got text miracle if make it to ess.. Truthfully every yid is miraculous that we were able to make shabbos.
I always thought friday's height of tirdos olam hazeh & arrival of shabbos are coincidental....
Vayeilech charanah. Yehuda's Rebbi asked let it say l'charan? Answered (chassidish) he had k'fitzas derech so vayilech charan to yakov!
Sound s cute. But y reuvaini brings from asara mamaros (rma mipanu) yakov instituted maariv. Tefiah is mechper like korbon & korbon atones - v'chiper b'ad beiso ub'ad kol yisrael. Can't institute tefilah without bayis. - HE WENT TO CHARAN SAW RACHEL & CAME BACK & INSTITUTED MA'ARIV.
even though tefilah requires DISENGAGEMENT from tirdos. so much so that the Rambam says 3days back from business trip patur from tefilah, however ones family is not tirdah to diengage from ad'raba - a shliach tzibur is supposed to be married & with a family to support. This is a t'nai for tefilah!
so when it comes to shabbos we have to learn how to disengage from olam hazeh complete detachment. vayisa yakov raglav - slonim. But taking care of family is not a tirda. Its a tnai for the sha'ar hashamayim
Vayisa yakov raglav
