I want to share with you a beautiful teaching from the great Rav Avram Shor, Shlita, should continue to have a refuah shlema.
We say on Shabbos, at Mincha, Hashem, you gave us this day of Shabbos, and what's the day of Shabbos? It's of course a day to daven, a day to learn, a day to live, a day to laugh, a day to sit at our table, but it's a day of Menucha u'Kedusha, a day of rest, of tranquility, of peace, and a day of holiness, a day of sanctity.
The first minuchah, there's a rest of love and graciousness, a rest of truth and faith, and a rest of peace and tranquility and quiet.
Chazah came to try to define, writes Rav Shor, this minukha, this peace that we're trying to arrive at on Shabbos.
Shabbos is not just about how much sleep you could get, how much food you could eat.
Shabbos is about a different type of rest, a rest which is not just physical, a tranquility, a peace, a peace of mind, a sense of being whole, a sense of being complete.
How do we get there? So the Chavos L'vavas writes in Sha'ar B'tachon that the only way to really get to peace, peace of mind, is to live with B'tachon.
When a person knows that there's a God, there's a Creator, He's intimately involved in our lives, everything is for a reason, nothing is random or chance, then a person can live with an inner peace.
We do all we can, we make our effort, but beyond our initiative, we let go and we let God, the rest is up to Him.
When a person lives with this bitachon, when we live with that faith, when we live with that knowledge that Hashem is in charge, Hashem is in control, we can let go, And we can live with that peace.
