Shabbos Food and the Absence of Unholiness

Lessons in Torah Or | January 30, 2026

Because down here in this world there are two aspects of Hashem’s Will that are expressed: 1: the innermost aspect of His Will for holiness to exist, and 2: the external aspect of His Will that gives life to unholiness. Which is not the case when “Hashem lifts up Havaya beyond creating the world, then there is only the Innermost Aspect of His Will”, and there is no expression of the External Aspect of His Will at all, and therefore Shabbos food has no connection to unholiness that would need refinement.

Therefore, specifically “today (on Shabbos) you should eat it (the Munn)”, since it is the idea of eating “for the satisfaction of the soul”, and “calling forth pleasure from Hashem on Shabbos.”
