(הֶמְשֵׁךְ)(In continuation: [of yesterday]) בֵּאוּר ג' הַפְּסוּקִים — לְכוּ נְרַנְנָה — עַל פִּי מִדָּה מְמוּצַּעַת מִדַּת כָּל אָדָםTo explain the three verses beginning Lechu neranenah in a way that is meaningful to everyone:מִיטְוואָך, אַז מעֶן הוֹיבְּט אָן טְראַכְטעֶן וואוּ וועֶט מעֶן נעֶהמעֶן אוֹיף שַׁבָּתOn Wednesday, a person begins to wonder where he will get his Shabbos needs, — הֵן בְּפַּשְׁטוּת אוּן הֵן מִיט וואָס וועֶט מעֶן שַׁבָּת'ן —- both in a literal sense and also, how he will “make” his Shabbos in a spiritual sense — יעֶדעֶר אִיד אִיז דאָך שַׁבָּת גאָר אַנאַנדעֶרעֶרfor on Shabbos, every Jew becomes a very different person. וועֶרט מָרָה שְׁחוֹרָה'דִיג[Knowing that he is inadequately prepared,] he may become depressed. אִיז דִי עֵצָה, לְכוּ נְרַנְנָה, בִּטָּחוֹןThe solution is Lechu neranenah: “Let us go and sing joyously” — let us have trust [in G‑d].וועֶן עֶס קוּמט דאָנעֶרשְׁטאָגWhen Thursday arrives, עֶס וועֶרט נעֶהנְטעֶר צוּ שַׁבָּת, אוּן עֶס אִיז נאָך אַלְץ נִיטאָShabbos has drawn closer and he is still empty-handed; אִיז יעֶמאָלט נְרַנְנָה'ט זִיך נִיט, מעֶן פאַרְשׁטעֶהט אַז מְ'דאַרף עֶפּעֶס טאָןjoyous song no longer flows so spontaneously. It’s clear that he has to do something.אִיז אַז מְ'זִיצט דאָנעֶרשְׁטאָג'דִיגעֶ נאַכט אוּן מְ'לעֶרעֶנט חֲסִידוּתBut after staying up and studying Chassidus on Thursday night, יעֶמאָלט אִיז פרֵייטאָג דעֶרהעֶרט מעֶן כִּי אֵ-ל גָּדוֹל גו' וּמֶלֶךְ גָּדוֹל גוone appreciates on Friday that “the Al-mighty is great… and a great King.”אוּן מִיט דעֶם שַׁבָּת'ט אַ אִידAnd with this awareness, a Jew makes his Shabbos.בְּמִנְחָה אֵין אוֹמְרִים תַּחֲנוּןDuring the Afternoon Service, Tachanun is not recited.Text and Translation courtesy of Sichos in English
