Shabbos Hagadol




 "קטעים מתוך הגש"פ "ואת עמלינו 
 

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 לז"נ האי גברא רבה רודף צדקה וחסד ר' משה (קלוורי) אלון זצ"ל
 

                 Because it did not happen on Shabbos                                     

We celebrate שבת הגדול because the נס of crossing the Yarden didn't  happen on Shabbos. 

The ב"ח (O.Ch.430) writes, "why do we commemorate the נס  (sheep tied to bed ) on Shabbos instead of the tenth of Nissan?" (actual date of נס)

He explains, " as not to confuse it with a different נס that also happened on the 10th of Nissan. The crossing of the ירדן
occurred on the tenth of Nissan, but it did not happen on a Shabbos.  

By commemorating the נס  (sheep tied to bed ) always on Shabbos  and not on the 10th Nissan
no one will think we are celebrating because of the other נס of crossing the ירדן 

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The only סימן in the entire שלחן ערוך that
has no הלכה in it, is in אורח חיים :ת"ל

"שבת שלפני הפסח קורין אותו שבת הגדול"
------------------------------------------------------------

The חיד"א in ספר מחזיק ברכה writes:
On Shabbos Hagadol, מדקדקים
greet each other ,"שבת הגדול ומבורך" 
instead of "שבת שלום ומבורך."

Eating Milchigs On Shavous

The Mishna Verura (494 sk 12) says one of the reasons for eating Milchigs on Shavuos  is because after Matan Torah, they couldn’t eat meat...
