Guard It - Parshat Ki Tisa 5786
About this episode
The episode discusses the significance of guarding the Sabbath as a covenant in the Torah, emphasizing its importance beyond mere celebration.
I n Ki Tisa, the Torah delivers a line that has always resonated deeply for me: The Israelite people shall guard the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath throughout the ages as a covenant for all time. Not celebrate it. Not enjoy it. Guard it. That verb is load-bearing. A covenant isn't a party. It isn't a pleasant ritual you slot into the calendar when convenient. A covenant is a bond — mutual, binding, and fragile enough that it requires proactive protection.
