האספו ואגידה לכם (ויחי מט:א)

Chazal teach שבת קיח) that: “כל המקיים שלש סעודות בשבת ניצל מחבלי משיח”—one who observes the three Shabbos meals is spared from the pangs of Moshiach. The word “הֵאָסְפוּ” alludes to Shalosh Seudos, a time when people gather together. This is followed by “וְאַגִּידָה”, which can be understood as I will cut, as in the pasuk in דניאל ד:יד), “גְּדוּ אִילָנָא”—cut down the tree. Through this “cutting,” the suffering of chevlei Moshiach is severed, and one is spared from its pangs.
