- In Moadim
- Drasha
AI summary (may contain mistakes)
How can the kedusha of a Yom Tov reach into the weekdays, as with the seven days of tashlumin for the Chagiga after Shavuos? Netzach Yisrael calls Shabbos a me'ein of Olam Haba and Yom Tov a me'ein of Yemos HaMashiach, a time still tied to this world. Like eruv tavshilin, work begun in Olam HaZeh can continue in Yemos HaMashiach. This connection also explains why, according to the Ramban, the neshama yeseira of Yom Tov is not lost.
Key points
- The Gemara gives Shavuos seven days of tashlumin, comparing it to Pesach rather than Succos.
- Netzach Yisrael calls Shabbos a me'ein of Olam Haba and Yom Tov a me'ein of Yemos HaMashiach.
- Shavuos, when we receive the Torah anew each year, is the Yom Tov most connected to this world.
