ועשית משבצות זהב…(תצוה כח:יג)

One Friday night, Parshas Tetzaveh, during the tish, the Rebbe of Lublin zt”l suddenly exclaimed:

“I have divrei Torah to share, but I am being prevented from saying them!”

The same occurred at the Shabbos day meal. Yet at Shalosh Seudos, he announced, “I have just received permission to reveal my thoughts!”

He then cited the passuk, “ועשית משבצות זהב,” and interpreted it allegorically as a reference to a flow of gold — that Hashem should grant Yidden generous and abundant parnassah.

Tzaddikim explained that with these words, the Rebbe sought to arouse an עת רצון — a propitious time of Divine favor — to draw down positive hashpa’os (heavenly influences and outpourings of blessing) upon Klal Yisroel. However, the Satan initially obstructed him from expressing it.

But Shalosh Seudos is known as the time of רעוא דרעוין — the “will of wills,” a supreme moment of Divine favor — and the Lubliner felt that this was the most opportune time to reveal his teaching and channel those blessings to Yidden.
