by Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach
Shabbos is back to Paradise. Paradise is a place where everything is good, everything holy everything is beautiful. Paradise is a place where suddenly it's so clear to me the I can fix all my mistakes. And even more so, everything I thought was a mistake. Every street I thought was a wrong street, was the only way to get there.
Shabbos has two faces -- there is the keeping Shabbos holy, the 39 laws of Shabbos, the withdrawing from the world, a non-power kind of life. But then there is the bliss of Shabbos, the inside of Shabbos, which is a gift from Heaven.
The bliss of Shabbos is even deeper than Paradise. It's a secret between me and G-d, between me and the people I love so much. Shabbos is peace because peace is secrets, secrets of the depths, of the deepest depths. Secrets are the deepest of G-d's revelation. A true Shabbos person walks the streets of the world and every human being they see, they seem to have a secret with. But with those they love, it's the secret of all secrets.

As we enter The Ten Days of Awe I'm reminded of a message from Rebbe Shlomo Carlebach,"At one time or another all of us have stood at the Heavenly Gates, pleading for admission. When they did not open instantly many of us turned away in anger or despair, not realizing that we must be prepared to knock for a lifetime. We know that life without Him is empty. Let us, with prayer, song and hearts of fire, storm the Gates of Righteousness together." Meet you at The Gates.
