rabbi weinfeld has nice ideas and lots to teach.
Interesting to note that in the few instances that the Rebbe wished in lashon kodesh, it was usually Shabat TOV
The Hebrew translation of “Gut Shabbos” is Shabbos Tov. Saying “Shabbat Shalom” comes from the Shalom Aleichem , since we greet malochim with “Shalom” by saying Shalom Aleichem, we also greet other yidden with Shalom, because on shabbos, every yid is like a maloch (which is why even an Am Haaretz doesn’t lie on shabbos etc).
I was brought up to say Shabbos, not Shabbat. Fortunate not to have been brainwased by the zionists.
If you say Shabbos instead of Shabbat, you might not be yoitzeh and need to say it again properly.
Ki mitzion teitzay Torah, from the Tzionim the Torah comes forth, that is our original roots, not Poland or Hungary.
The kriyas haTorah words pronounced like the foreigners from Poland or Hungary might not be kosher to be yoitzej Kritya (and Parshas Zochor or Megillah would need to be heard again).
Is it Shabbat or shabbos or shabbis? It’s a machlokes. So THAT’S why we say “Shabbat shalom” – we need to end the machines and make sholom. עושה שלום במרומיו הוא יעשה שבת שלום עלינו ועל כל ישראל אפילו הפולישע והאונגרישע ואימרו אמן
Is it shabbos or Shabbat or shabbis? It’s a machlokes. That’s why we say “Shabbat shalom” – it’s time to end the machlokes, it’s Shabbat Shalom, a time for sholom.עושה שלום במרומיו הוא יששה שלום עלינו Shabbat Shalom!
We don’t say sbabbos, or shabbat, or shabbis – the right way is to say shabbes!
