Motzei Shabbos is often the most fragile moment of the week — when the light of Shabbos fades and old patterns rush back in.
In this week’s Hachana L’Shabbos, Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David learn a deceptively simple avodah that can transform the entire week ahead: folding.
Drawing from the Be’er Mayim Chaim, we learn that folding the tallis on Motzei Shabbos isn’t just a custom. It’s a spiritual practice. Just as a tallis is folded again and again until it rests properly, so too real shalom bayis is built through repeated acts of humility and restraint.
We explore:
- Why peace only enters a home after a person steps back from their “makom”
- How letting go — especially when you’re right — creates true blessing
- Why spilled wine, folded fabric, and Motzei Shabbos habits set the tone for the entire week
- How v’tur doesn’t erase truth, but allows truth to be heard
May we merit to carry the kedusha of Shabbos into Motzei Shabbos, and to begin each week with menuchas hanefesh, shalva, and bracha.
