[music] >> Our music is back as we are turning our it makes, the power of music. Lag BaOmer is now behind us, we're back to listening to music and it has a powerful influence in helping us prepare. One of the ways I try to turn Friday into Erev Shabbos is having a special Shabbos mix and playing Shabbos songs on Friday transforms the home. If you wake up to that music, if you walk into your office, in your car, to your workout and you're listening to Shabbos Erev Shabbos music, oh, the sweet flavors, the taste. There's an element of a tosefes Shabbos, you're starting Shabbos early. So, consider Erev Shabbos playlist and play it. Different than the other days of the week. Part of the way you turn Friday into Erev Shabbos is not only the sights, the flavors, but it's also the sounds. It's the smells, it's the food cooking for Shabbos, it's the scene, it's the table being set for Erev Shabbos, but it's also the sounds. It's the music that's playing, not the typical, but the music of Erev Shabbos. So so wonderful to have it back. Nothing holier than the Karliner Hashem baruch Hashem. Our parsha at the very end has a observe my shabboses and have all and reverence for my mikdash. Shabbos and mikdash always go together. They represent sanctity and holiness, one in time and one in space. They represent our ways to connect to Hashem. In his wonderful he says another connection between the two shabbos and mikdash is midos habitochon. Both are incubators, laboratories, platforms, places we work on bitachon, our relationship, our trust
