Tomorrow is known as 'Shabbos Bereishis' not only because it is the day in which we read Parshas Bereishis, but because it is the Shabbos upon which we can commence an initiative to increase our Kedushas Shabbos, our sense of the holiness of Shabbos for the entire year, now that the Yomim Tovim have concluded. If we can add on to Shabbos a special shiur, or special time to learn, spend some additional time with the Parsha, increase the quality of Zemiros at each meal, learn some Hilchos Shabbos from any sefer during at least one seudah, take in Shabbos just a couple of minutes early, delay Havdalah with a Devar Torah, make sure to eat (or leave room, as the case may be) for Shalosh Seudos and Melave Malka, we will have accomplished much. Even your intent is very meaningful, even if you only, bli neder, initially commit to your new small Shabbos goal for three or four weeks.
GOOD SHABBOS!
