  • Summary

  • Are You Resting or Just Killing Time?

    Is Shabbos just a day off, a break from work? Or is there something deeper we often miss? If Menucha means rest, why does Chazal say Shabbos was given for learning Torah—something that takes effort? And if we’re meant to rest, why was an entire city destroyed just for playing ball on Shabbos?

    In this episode, Rabbi Klapper uncovers the real meaning of Menucha—not just stopping, but recharging. True rest isn’t just avoiding work; it’s about plugging into our ultimate life source, Ruchniyus. The more we connect to Torah and Hashem, the more energy we gain. But when we turn Shabbos into a day of just "passing time," we drain the very power it's meant to give us. Through striking examples, we’ll see why Shabbos isn’t about doing nothing—it’s about doing something real. If you’ve ever walked away from Shabbos feeling physically rested but spiritually empty, this episode will change the way you approach the holiest day of the week.

    Hosted by Rabbi Ari Klapper and produced by Eli Podcast Productions, this episode is part of the Real Judaism series, available on RealJudaism.org. Don't forget to subscribe and share to stay connected with our daily lessons and timeless Torah insights!
