Ki Tisa 5773

The Gemara in Shabbos (118b) states that if we keep Shabbos perfectly two times in a row, then Moshiach would come immediately. However, the Yerushalmi says we only need to keep Shabbos perfectly once. The Kedushas Levi resolves this contradiction. In actuality, it only takes one Shabbos for Moshiach to come. When we properly keep Shabbos, it leaves an impact on our Avodas Hashem for the rest of the week; we worship Hashem with a pure heart. This then leads into the following Shabbos, which is then properly followed again, but this time with our "renewed" Avodas Hashem.
