Turn Friday into Erev Shabbos #268 - The Last Shabbos of the Year

And the Beis Avraham of Slonim tells us, quoting here in parashat Tzavma, Everything follows the end.

Everything follows the finish.

That's the statement that we make.

Everything, everything follows.

Everything follows the end.

That is the statement.

So the way we walk into this last Shabbos, are we turning our Friday into a Shabbos? Are we prepared? Do we wake up Friday morning to a set home? Did we wake up today? Are we playing music? Are we preparing Deuteronomy? Are we getting ready so that Shabbos finds us waiting, not she is waiting for us? Everything follows.

He writes there, the base of Ramah, he says that we know that Tishrei is like Shabbos, and Elul is like Erev Shabbos.

And just like there's a din of Tosefa Shabbos, that we bring Shabbos in early, there's a din of Tosefa Shabbos that we bring Tishrei in early.

So this week it's already Rosh Hashanah.

We're already feeling, we're already hearing the shofar.

We're already feeling a connection to this significant, to this incredible time.

And this is a time that we're getting ready.

This is the time that we are preparing.

This is the time.

This is what it is all about.
