The Three Weeks: Feeling Like Banim on Shabbos Chazon

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

How can Shabbos, which has no place in Churban, carry the name Shabbos Chazon? The three Shemoneh Esreis of Shabbos stand for the Shabbos of creation, the Shabbos of the giving of the Torah, and the yom shekulo Shabbos of the future. The avodah of Shabbos Chazon is to reconnect our neshama and feel like banim lamakom, and the closer we feel, the less we feel the Churban.

Key points

• Only the Mincha Shemoneh Esrei of Shabbos calls us banim, at the closest time of Shabbos.
• A holy sefer quoted calls Shabbos yoma d'nishmasa, the day of the neshama.
• During the week halacha removes the knife at bentching, but the challah knife stays on Shabbos.
