116. Like a king who held a feast for his only son, crowned him with the highest \u200ecrown, and entrusted him with everything. That day is joy for all the people of the state. One \u200eofficer, appointed over people\u2019s judgment, had people in his possession that had to be killed, \u200eand people that had to be struck. But because of the glory of this day of the king\u2019s joy, he put \u200eaway his judgments and observed the king\u2019s joy, so as not to afflict even a single person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
117. So is that day, the Sabbath; it is the feast of joy of the king with the queen, ZA and Malchut, and the \u200ejoy of AVI. In it, upper and lower rejoice, all are happy with the king\u2019s joy, and are not saddened in it. This \u200eis why it is written, \u201cand call the Sabbath \u2018a delight,\u2019\u201d a delight above, in the place of the \u200eupper holiness, in upper AVI, as it is written, \u201cThen shall you delight yourself in the Lord,\u201d \u200eabove ZA, since delight is above the Lord, in AVI, above ZA. And that day, the Sabbath, \u200ethe king\u2019s feast of joy, is crowned with a crown of delight from upper AVI, as it is written, \u201cand \u200ecall the Sabbath \u2018a delight,\u2019\u201d which is not present on the rest of the days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
118. On that day, the sons of the king must summon and set the table for three meals, \u200ebecause of the king\u2019s glory. And when one of the three festivals or the New Year\u2019s Eve falls \u200eon it, one should not set up two tables on each meal\u2014one for the Sabbath and one for the \u200eguest, for the good day, since it is written that he always eats at the king\u2019s table, for \u200ethe king\u2019s table is sufficient for the guest who comes to him. For this reason, one must set a \u200ecomplete table for the king and give of it to the guest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
119. When a guest, meaning a good day, arrives for the third meal of the Sabbath, does one \u200eleave it or not leave it? If the third meal is eaten, then the guest\u2014meaning the meal of the \u200esecond good day\u2014is rejected from the king\u2019s table, since one cannot eat the \u200emeal of the eve of the second good day with appetite because of to the third meal. And if one \u200edoes not eat the third meal then there is a flaw in the king\u2019s meals because the king, the \u200eSabbath, is one meal short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
120. It is like a king who had a guest. He moved the food away from himself and gave it to \u200ethe guest. It follows that although the king does not eat with him, he eats of the king\u2019s \u200efood and the king gives him food. Here, too, the Sabbath cancels the third meal so the guest, \u200ewhich is the night of a second good day, will have good appetite for the meal. It follows that \u200ethe meal of a good day is the food of the king, the Sabbath, since the Sabbath put \u200eaway its meal for him, since he is the king\u2019s guest. This is because the first good day occurs \u200eon the Sabbath; hence, he is the guest of the Sabbath. But this is not so on a Sabbath on the \u200eeve of a good day. The third meal is not canceled before a meal on the eve of a good \u200eday. This is about the two days of the beginning of the year, which applies both in the land of \u200eIsrael, as well as for people abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
121. On that day, speech is forbidden, so your speech on the Sabbath will not be as that of a regular day, since all the faith ties into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
122. How not to give the king\u2019s meal to the guest, so as not to cancel the \u200ethird meal before the meal of the eve of a good day that occurs on the eve of the Sabbath? \u200eAfter all, when the fourteenth of the month of Nissan occurs on the Sabbath, we cancel and \u200eset up the king\u2019s meal, the third meal, for the guest, which is the meal of Passover night, even \u200ethough the good day is not the Sabbath guest, but occurs on the first day [Sunday].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
123. If the good day is the guest of the Sabbath, meaning it occurs on the Sabbath, it can \u200ecancel the third meal and set it up as the meal of the eve of the second good day. If it is not \u200eon the Sabbath, but begins on the first day, it does not cancel it, and he sets up a third meal for \u200ea meal of the eve of a good day, so he will eat with appetite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But why when the fourteenth of Nissan occurs on the Sabbath, it rejects the king\u2019s \u200emeal, the third meal, before the meal of Passover eve? Passover is different, since the third meal of the Sabbath is canceled on it for several reasons: Because of the \u200eMatzot and the bitter herbs, one should have a good appetite; and because of the leaven on \u200ePassover, since no bread has been available from the sixth hour onward, and setting a table without \u200ebread is not setting a meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
124. Is it possible to call it a third meal with wine? Wine is permitted \u200ebecause it makes the heart hungry and does not spoil the desire for eating. But Rabbi Shimon tried \u200enot to cancel the meal of the Sabbath, the third meal, even on Sabbaths on which there were good days since \u200eon that day, the field of holy apples is blessed, meaning Malchut, and upper and lower are \u200eblessed, and this day is the connection of the Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
125. This is what Rabbi Shimon would do when he had to eat the third meal of the Sabbath: \u200eHe would set up his table and engage in the Merkava [chariot\/structure], and he would say, \u201cThis is the \u200eKing\u2019s meal, let Him come to eat at my place.\u201d For this reason, the Sabbath is more \u200eimportant than all the occasions and the festivals, and it is called \u201choly,\u201d and not \u201choly \u200eassembly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
126. All the festivals are called \u201choly assemblies,\u201d with the exception of Rosh \u200eHashanah [New Year\u2019s Eve] and Yom HaKippurim [Day of Atonement], in whom there is no joy \u200ebecause they are judgments. But those three\u2014Passover, Shavuot, Sukkot\u2014are summoned from \u200eholiness for everyone\u2019s delight, to entertain themselves in the Creator on them, as it is written, \u201cAnd you shall rejoice before the Lord your God,\u201d and as it is written, \u201cRejoice before the Lord your God.\u201d On that day of the \u200eSabbath, any sorrow, anger, and indigence are removed from the whole world, since it is a \u200eday of the King\u2019s joy, on which souls are added to Israel, in similarity with the next world.\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u200e127. \u201cRemember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.\u201d Remember it with wine, since wine is the \u200ejoy of Torah, Mochin of illumination of Hochma that shine in ZA, who is called Torah. The \u200ewine of Torah is the Mochin of ZA, the joy of everyone. This wine delights the king, ZA, and \u200ethis wine crowns the king with His crowns, in Mochin of GAR, as it is written, \u201cGo forth, O \u200edaughters of Zion, and gaze on King Solomon with the crown with which his mother has \u200ecrowned him.\u201d With everything, one should show an act below so as to \u200eawaken its corresponding root above, for there is holiness only in wine, as it is written, \u201cFor your love is better than wine.\u201d This \u200emeans that they are good because they are wine. And also, \u201cWe will extol your love more \u200ethan wine,\u201d which is why the Kiddush [blessing on the Sabbath] is over wine.\u200e<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
