RABBI SHLOMO CARLEBACH ON Parashat Vayakhel Pekuday

Sometimes, it's the thoughts that get us there All week long he says I was praying to G-d that I should have a good Shabbos; do you know how good Shabbos is? I’ll tell you the difference between Shabbos and everything else. Imagine I am very hungry and I’m dreaming that in about two hours from now I am going to this French restaurant and I’m going to knock it in like mad. But in the meantime, I am still hungry like a dog. Dreaming about food doesn’t help. My kishkes say, listen brother, I appreciate your high caliber that you are dreaming so much about food but it doesn’t help, I want to eat.
