The only
night out of the entire week that we extend the Arvit (Evening) Tefillah is
Motzei Shabbat (Saturday night). We add in an entire section to the Tefillah
which we say everyday after the Amida in Shacharit.
What is in this
Tefillah that makes it so PERFECT to be said on Motzei Shabbat?
First we
need to know a key factor of Shabbat Kodesh before we speak about Motzei
Shabbat.
We say in the
Tefillah of Shabbat that Hashem brings a type of Menucha into the world on
Shabbat Kodesh, a type of tranquility and sense of calmness. This means that
there is no type of spiritual force to bring any type of bad into the world!!!
So what
happens on Motzei Shabbat, the Shabbat ‘bottle cap’ is taken off the world and
then this shield of goodness is taken away. All the Negative spiritual forces
that were not allowed to enter the world now zoom into each and every one’s
community/home/room/country.
This is the
most sensitive time for someone to lose all the spirituality gained from
Shabbat. Isn’t it a coincidence that the biggest Party night (that leads to the
not-so-Kosher events) is Motzei Shabbat?!
Anyway, what
do we say in the Tefillah of Motzei Shabbat after the Amida of Arvit?
We say thank
you Hashem for giving us the Torah and having the Emunah Temima (Simple Faith)
in our genes! Then we say how Hashem puts in our hearts the will to live a life
based on the Torah and to always depend on Him even in the hardest times.
This
Tefillah now makes total sense why it is said after Arvit of Motzei Shabbat.
All the spiritual forces are entering the world to harm us and confuse us with
what we should do! We pray that Hashem should protect us from them and direct
us to the happiest form of living and celebrating happy occasions with our
loved ones.
