Stop chasing MORE | Turn Friday Into Erev Shabbos #237

Description

Sponsored by Mendel & Ciporah Fischman - Zchus for Chaya Rivka bas Ciporah Fradel and in memory of R' Lord Jonathan Sacks, HaRav Ya'akov Zvi ben David Arieh z"l. === In this week’s Erev Shabbos message, Rabbi Efrem Goldberg teaches the heart of Shabbos: the midah of histapkus — feeling that what we have is enough. All week long, we’re pulled into ambition, acquisition, comparison, and control. But when Shabbos arrives, everything changes. Drawing from the pasuk “Hashem beirach es Avraham bakol,” the Midrash, and Rav Avraham Schorr, Rabbi Goldberg explains that Avraham’s blessing wasn’t material wealth — it was the spiritual ability to say: “I have everything.” Shabbos gives us that same blessing. It disconnects us from chasing more and reconnects us to gratitude, serenity, and presence. It turns our attention from what’s missing… to what we already have.
