“With the entrance of Shabbat every Jew gains an “extra”
soul, and can experience a state of “expanded consciousness”…and the way we
live our weekday lives becomes permeated with an increased measure of holiness……on Erev Shabbat (the “eve of Shabbat”—Thursday night to
Friday sunset) we begin to feel the approach of Shabbat, and as the day
progresses, this perception of its presence becomes stronger. Thus, Friday is a type of bridge between the
regular and the holy; it is a weekday whose sole focus is upon the approaching
holy day. If we keep this in mind as we
work on Erev Shabbat, the preparations themselves partake of the holiness of
Shabbat…”
