I was asked to speak about Shabbos by the Rebbe after I came back Gimmel Tammuz. It's not easy to speak about etc. Just one point:
It's at the very same time extremely communal and extremely personal. You're sitting by a farbrengen even with your friends. You're talking, listening, interacting. Very communal. At the same time there's so much introspection. You're in a place of truth and you try with every fiber of your being to be truthful and internalize anything you should be 'taking'. At the same time you're very confused and conflicted because, the time and place is too holy, too lofty, too true.
So at the very same moment that you're interacting with people, smiling, conversing, farbrenging it's a most personal moment. And it continues for 25 plus hours. Communal and personal simultaneously.
