Practical Judaism Friday Afternoon Nap

Friday afternoon is a time of “sleep” Above. On the first Friday, G-d made Adam fall into a deep sleep and built a woman from him. Now he could have infinite descendants. The sleep was in order to bring infinitely more life. Every Friday the same thing happens Above. Sleeping on Friday afternoon gives us strength to learn Torah, both the revealed and esoteric parts of Torah.
