The Exponential Power of Torah on Shabbos
Parashas Vayakhel-Pekudei
Harav Hagaon Shmuel Friedman shlita
The Tur writes (Orach Chaim 290) that after a person sleeps on Shabbos afternoon he should make time to learn. He cites a Midrash that relates that the Torah asked Hashem, โWhen Klal Yisrael will enter Eretz Yisrael, everyone will be tending to their own pursuits, and who is going to take care of me?โ Hashem assured the Torah that He had a spouse for it: Shabbos. โOn Shabbos,โ He explained, โKlal Yisrael will not be working, so they will occupy themselves with Torah.โ
The Beis Yosef and the Bach cite a Midrash in this weekโs parashah that teaches that we need to establish a time on Shabbos to teach the people Hashemโs laws and His Torah:
ืจืืืชืื ื ืืขืื ืืืื ืืืืจืื ืืชืืืช ืืชืืจื ืืขื ืกืืคื ืืื ืื ืคืจืฉื ืฉื ืืืจ ืืจืืฉื ืืืงืื ืืื ืืืช ืืืื ืืืจ ืืงืืืฉ ืืจืื ืืื ืขืฉื ืื ืงืืืืช ืืืืืืช ืืืจืืฉ ืืคื ืืื ืืจืืื ืืืืืช ืฉืืช ืืื ืฉืืืืื ืืื ืืืจืืช ืืืืื ืืืงืืื ืงืืืืช ืืื ืฉืืช ืืฉืืช ืืืื ืืก ืืืชื ืืืจืฉืืช ืืืื ืืืืืจืืช ืืืฉืจืื ืืืจื ืชืืจื ืืืกืืจ ืืืืชืจ ืืื ืฉืืื ืฉืื ืืืืื ืืชืงืืก ืืื ืื ื. ืืืื ืืืจื ืืฉื ืชืงื ืืื ืืืฉืจืื ืฉืืืื ืืืจืฉืื ืืขื ืื ื ืฉื ืืื โ ย ืืืืืช ืคืกื ืืคืกื ืืืืืช ืขืฆืจืช ืืขืฆืจืช ืืืืืช ืืื ืืื. ืืืจ ืืฉื ืืืฉืจืื ืื ืืชื ืขืืฉืื ืืกืืจ ืืื ืืงืืืฉ ืืจืื ืืื ืืขืื ืขืืืื ืืืืื ืืืืืชื ืืืชื ืืขืืืื ืฉื ืืืจ ืืืชื ืขืื ื ืื ื’ ืืื ื ื-ื.
The Midrash notes that the beginning of this parashah is the only instance in which Moshe gathered the entire Klal Yisrael to teach them something. Every other portion of Torah was transmitted from Moshe to Yehoshua, from Yehoshua to the zekeinim, and from the zekeinim to the rest of Klal Yisrael. This parashah, however, was taught in public, to all of Klal Yisrael. Hashem said, โMake big gatherings and teach Klal Yisrael the halachos of Shabbos, so that my Name should be praised among my children.โ
Moshe therefore instituted that we should have shiurim to teach the halachos of Pesach on Pesach, the halachos of Shavuos on Shavuos, and the halachos of Succos on Succos. The Midrash concludes that if we do this, Hashem considers it as though we have crowned Him King in His world, as the passuk in Yeshayah says: ืืืชื ืขืื ื ืื ื’ ืืื ื ื-ื.
Hashem was the One Who established this din that people should gather on Shabbos to learn Torah. And when we do so, we are spreading His Name and serving as witnesses for Him.
On a basic level, a person has to learn Torah on Shabbos and Yom Tov because he needs to know the halachos of what heโs supposed to be doing, and that knowledge and learning connects him to the day. But on a deeper level, learning Torah on Shabbos connects the pnimiyus of our neshamah to the inner essence of Shabbos.
When One Equals 100,000
The Ben Ish Chai (Parashas Shemos, second year, introduction) explains Chazalโs statement (Yerushalmi 15:3) that Shabbos was given to Klal Yisrael only so that they could engage in Torah study. During the week, he says, a person builds his physical world, and on Shabbos he must make sure to build his spiritual universe. Shabbos is meiโein Olam Haba, and we must increase our Torah learning on that day, because that is when weโll enjoy greater success in our ruchniyus. The Ben Ish Chai adds that the mekubalim wrote that Torah learning on Shabbos is a thousand times more powerful than the Torah learning during the rest of the week. He concludes that since we are building our spiritual world on Shabbos, the building of our physical world is banned.
The six other days of the week also have ruchniyus, but they are designated for gashmiyus. Shabbos, on the other hand, is a day when we refrain from the 39 melachos, because our โworkโ on that day is ruchniyus. That is the meaning of the idea that the Torahโs โspouseโ is Shabbos.
Chazal also tell us that the reward for a mitzvah done amid difficulty is a hundred times greater than the reward for a mitzvah done without difficulty. If a person has a hard time learning, and he pushes himself to learn, his learning is worth a hundred times more than it would be if it were easy. Mathematically, then, it turns out that if a person learns on Shabbos amid difficulty, then one blatt of Gemara that he learns is worth 100,000 blatt.
The Chazon Ish used to say that there are certain chiddushim and sevaros that a person can understand properly only on Shabbos.
Similarly, the rosh yeshiva, Rav Nosson Tzvi, used to prepare his shiur klali mostly on Erev Shabbos afternoon. He would say that the kedushah of the imminent Shabbos would give him special siyatta dโShmaya to prepare his shiur.
The Vilna Gaon offers a beautiful insight regarding limud haTorah and ruchniyus on Shabbos. Just as Chazal tell us that the expenses of Shabbos and Yom Tov are not included in a personโs financial allotment for the year, so, too, a personโs hatzlachah in ruchniyus on Shabbos and Yom Tov is not included in his yearly โallotmentโ of spiritual success, which is also determined on Rosh Hashanah. On Shabbos, a person can be zocheh to more than what he was rightfully awarded at the beginning of the year.
Shabbos Brings Purity
This parashah follows on the heels of the cheit haโeigel, which involved a form of avodah zarah. The Tur, at the beginning of hilchos Shabbos, cites Chazalโs teaching that if one keeps Shabbos properly, his sins are forgiven, as the Gemara says (Shabbos 118b): ืื ืืืฉืืจ ืฉืืช ืืืืืชื, ืืคืืื ืขืืื ืขืืืื ืืจื ืืืืจ ืื ืืฉ ืืืืืื ืื.
The Taz is puzzled by these words of the Tur. What does it mean that a personโs sins are forgiven? If the person did teshuvah, then he doesnโt need to have his sins forgiven. And if he didnโt do teshuvah, then how can his sins be forgiven? He answers that although teshuvah sometimes requires yissurim in order to effect a complete kapparah, on Shabbos there is no need for that. It seems from the Tur that the person merits kapparah regardless of whether his teshuvah was complete.
Iโve heard that the Beโer Mayim Chaim writes that Hashem has rachmanus on us and forgives our sins, because what kind of Shabbos would we have if we were soiled with aveiros? How would our neshamah โ and specifically our neshamah yeseirah โ experience the ruchniyus of Shabbos? Just as a chassan has his sins forgiven so that he can begin building his new home with joy, on Shabbos Hashem helps us achieve simchah and shleimus in ruchniyus by forgiving our sins.
This is reflected in the fact that this parashah, which begins with the mitzvah of shemiras Shabbos, follows that of the eigel.
Moshe Rabbeinu commanded Klal Yisrael to do two things in order to achieve atonement for the cheit haโeigel. One was to keep Shabbos, which brings forgiveness, and the other was to build the Mishkan, a place of hashraas haShechinah that is also a kapparah for the eigel.
The Alshich adds that because the cheit haโeigel was done publicly, with all of Klal Yisrael gathering to do the aveirah, the kapparah also needed to be done bโhakhel.
The Glow of Shabbos is for Everyone
The Baal Haturim, at the beginning of this weekโs parashah, notes that the juxtaposition of this parashah to the Torahโs description of how Mosheโs face shone teaches us that a person looks different on Shabbos than he does during the week.
Now, the passuk was discussing Moshe Rabbeinu only; it was not talking about all other members of Klal Yisrael. But the Arizal is quoted as saying that every single person merits two crowns on Shabbos, just as Klal Yisrael were given two crowns when they said naaseh venishma. After the eigel, these crowns were taken away from them and given to Moshe Rabbeinu, but, as the Arizal teaches, when a person keeps Shabbos properly, Moshe gives the crowns back to them as a gift.
This is the deeper meaning of the words we say in davening: ืึดืฉึฐืืึทื ืืฉึถืื ืึฐึผืึทืชึฐึผื ึทืช ืึถืึฐืงืึน ืึดึผื ืขึถืึถื ื ึถืึฑืึธื ืงึธืจึธืืชึธ ืึผืึน. Moshe is a โloyal servantโ to return the crowns to every Yid who deserves it. Therefore, on Shabbos every Yid can achieve the ืงึธืจึทื ืขืึนืจ ืคึธึผื ึธืื, the special spiritual radiance that Moshe Rabbeinu merited.
As the chassidishe maaseh goes, a tzaddik once went to the mikvah, and on his way out, the attendant confronted him and asked him why he hadnโt paid on the way in. The tzaddik had paid, but his visage had changed so much that the attendant didnโt recognize him on his way out.
It turns out that while Klal Yisrael lost their crowns when they did the cheit haโeigel, on Shabbos, which is the day of kapparah for that sin, the spiritual radiance of these crowns is restored. Perhaps we can suggest that the crowns that we received on the day of Mattan Torah are returned to us through learning Torah on Shabbos, particularly through learning Torah as a tzibbur, similar to what occurred at Mattan Torah. This Torah learning atones for the eigel, and when we do it communally, we get back this light.
The Gemara (Beitzah 16a) interprets the word ืึทืึดึผื ึธึผืคึทืฉื as ืืื ืืืื ื ืคืฉ, and we know that on Motzaei Shabbos, the neshamah yeseirah departs โ hence the expression of woe (vay). Why is the word ืึทืึดึผื ึธึผืคึทืฉื in Parashas Ki Sisa juxtaposed with the cheit haโeigel? The Chasam Sofer explains that although Klal Yisrael lost their crowns due to the eigel, they get them back on Shabbos, through the special radiance of the face on that day.
Shabbos, then, is a special time to โlog inโ to our ruchniyus. We should appear different on Shabbos, as the Baal Haturim says. Limud haTorah is the way to build our ruchniyus โ a thousand times more than during the week โ and especially limud haTorah done bโrabbim, which, Chazal say, spreads Hashemโs Name in the world.
We should be zocheh to utilize this tremendous treasure known as Shabbos, and specifically this week, Shabbos Hachodesh, which is the time for a new beginning.
Chazak chazak venisโchazek!
