Does Hashem Pay Your Bills?

Shabbos is Hashem’s day, but does that mean He covers the cost? Chazal tell us “הלווני ואני פורע”—spend for Shabbos, and Hashem will pay you back. But how far does this go? Should we go into debt for a lavish seudah? Does this mean we can indulge in anything as long as it’s LeKavod Shabbos?

This episode uncovers the deeper meaning behind spending for Shabbos. Is the money truly for Hashem’s kavod, or is it about personal indulgence? The difference is everything. Through powerful insights, we’ll explore how Shabbos transforms us into royalty—not just in our meals and clothing, but in our mindset. Why do even the simplest Jews dress like kings on Shabbos? How does spending for Shabbos reveal our emunah? And what happens when we lose sight of what oneg Shabbos really means? Discover how to elevate your Shabbos spending, ensuring that every expense strengthens your connection to the King’s table.
