The coming Shabbat is called the "Great Shabbat."
The Admor Rabbi Yoshiyahu Pinto explains that on this Shabbat great and unique attainments can be achieved. And so he expanded on his lesson
: In Egypt "on the tenth day of this month
they
shall take for themselves a man of the house of the patriarchs of the house of the LORD of hosts" (Exodus 12: 3).
, The foreign work of the Egyptians, the people of Israel with devotion took this sheep as a sacrifice to Gd and after this it is called this "great Sabbath" after the great miracle that the Egyptians saw that the people of Israel take their foreign work and did nothing.
It should be difficult to say about this miracle that this Shabbat is called "Great Shabbat", because the children of Israel had many more miracles and many wonders over nature and we have not seen or found that they took any interest in sanctifying Shabbat for generations, thousands of years have passed since this miracle happened. And put on it a crown and a crown for all the Sabbaths, what is so special about this Sabbath about the miracle that the children of Israel took the sheep as a sacrifice for the foreign work of the Egyptians and what is the lesson we must learn from this?
But one can clarify and say, we know what the Gemara tells (Brachot Sa :) to us about Rabbi Akiva when they took him to be killed at the end of his life, his disciples came and our rabbi told him how do we look dead in this situation?
Rabbi Akiva told them all the days I was waiting for this moment.
It is known that a Jew must keep a mitzvah and the mitzvah that a person keeps must be perfect by the person enslaving the interior and the exterior, the thought the spirit, the whole person enslaves to Gd and does it perfectly, and it is a work of years. Rabbi Akiva told them all days, all My days I tried and gave my soul to reach this level to give my soul with all my strength and all the thought to enslave everything I have to this devotion to
the mitzvah .
In the land of Egypt they worked hard and moved away from the Torah and the mitzvos, reaching the gates of impurity.
And here without the preparations of months and years like Rabbi Akiva who says all the days I worked and I was sorry to keep a mitzvah properly.
Here the children of Israel take the sheep and in one moment enslave themselves and do the mitzvah for heaven in holiness and the greatest exaltation without much work for many years, in one moment reach the purpose of enslaving the inner and outer, all to sacrifice the sacrifice to Gd. This was a rank The greatest and highest that was in the power of a miracle that the children of Israel reached the goal in the Passover sacrifice, to take the sacrifice with devotion without years of work to reach this level
. And externality, in one moment they gave up and reached the goal and that is the power of this Sabbath.
Therefore on this Shabbat a person has the power to reach a purpose without great work to observe the interior and exterior of the mitzvah with great perfection.
And this is the power of this mitzvah, working for years to achieve great attainments that only after great toil a person reaches it, but on this Sabbath there is power to achieve in a short time work of years.
And every person who knew how to prepare himself, sanctify himself and cling to Gd this Sabbath, can achieve great attainments that take many years to achieve, this Sabbath there is a heavenly spirit from Gd to shorten a long way in small things and reach the desired perfection and purpose.
