Extravagant Entrance

The gemara says אמר הקב"ה למשה משה מתנה טובה יש לי בבית גנזי ושבת שמה ואני מבקש ליתנה לישראל, Hashem told Moshe, “I have a wonderful gift in my treasure house and Shabbos is its name and I want to give it to the Jewish people.” Simply looking at this, we understand these words that Hashem was telling Moshe about giving Shabbos to us from His treasure house.

However, the Sefas Emes analyzes these words and explains that Shabbos is in Hashem’s treasure house. As a result, each Shabbos we enter Hashem’s treasure house. Hashem brings us into His treasure house and brings us close to Him. That’s the מתנה ט ובה ! What a wonderful gift that we get to enter Hashem’s treasure house each week!
