okay so we have been discussing for the last three weeks about the fourth of the ten commandments which is the keeping of shabbos tonight i want to further that discussion and explain like the title we have tonight like the title we have tonight they have many details listen and be inspired by each one so i'd like to make a rundown of the different types of actions and things that we do on shabbos to explain the purpose and the reason a lot of people do things according to tradition which is naturally very important tradition of judaism plays a very big role tradition but they don't realize the reason for it and knowing the reason gives it much more of a life it's what we're doing it's not just a action of uh wrote that we happen to do every week but if we know why we're doing it but if we know why we're doing it it takes on a different kind of feeling so i want to go through the different times of shabbos starting from arab shabbos and see how far we can get and of course if you have any questions about what i'm saying feel free to ask and we'll see uh how many things we could cover tonight after katzeis it's called our we already start minimizing and start getting ready for shabbos by refraining from some mundane activities shabbos we have to go away from all thirty-nine but remember we had all 39 we went through arab shabbos we don't do all 39 naturally but we start little by little getting into shabbos the reason being shabbos like was talking about the last few weeks is a tremendous connection and closeness
