What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Efrem Goldberg’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

in memory of reabon Ben David Ary and we are getting ready for a shabas shabas the mccor shabas the source of all our first shabas after a full week in a long time and even though we should get excited for each and every shabas perhaps this shabas after a week in between we're even more appreciative and the chance the opportunity to turn to Shabas, to find refuge in Shabas, to be reinvigorated in Shabas, to disconnect and to connect to what matters all in Shabas. I want to share with you a beautiful teaching, a beautiful teaching for the Shalom on the P that we read not only in last week's parish that started it all, but it's a P that we read each and every week in the we say God completed the heavens and the earth. and he finished on the seventh day. Rashi writes, "What was the world missing? What was lacking? What still needed to come?" The way the Torah describes, the way the Torah depicts, it's not just that he worked six days and then stopped and ceased and rested on the seventh. It's as if by resting on the seventh, he created something new. Stopping to work and being at rest was itself an act of creation. So, what was missing that he created? What was wrong with just having this creative cycle of the six days? Why did he need a seventh day where he rested? Says what was missing.
