Isaac Miracles: A Deeper Look Into Shabbat (Just Be: What We Can Learn From Lecha Dodi)
When the illusion of time disappears, we are left wandering what we need to do. And when that thought dissipates, we realize that there is nothing "we" really need to do - except "be". This is the essence of Shabbat. The essence of true joy. Not synthetic happiness that makes us believe we will be happy when get this or that or when we achieve this or that.
