[Avodah] Panim Chadoshos - Ushpizin

[Dubin Avrohom (Abe) P]

The Panim Chadoshos of Shabbos is not the Shabbos itself. Rather the people attending the Sheva Brochos have a different Panim than they had on Thursday night. As Chazal say regarding the brocha of Shabbos - Barcho Bmeor Panav shel Adam. It is the people who are different, or should be different on Shabbos. Since they are not the same people that they were before Shabbos, they - the people - qualify as Panim Chadoshos.
 
The reason why you don't need Panim Chadoshos on Shabbos morning is generally assumed to be based on an Arizal who says that an extra measure of Neshama Yeseira comes to a person who says Nishmas properly. Again, it is the person's extra neshama that qualifies.
 
Shabbos as a concept is not Panim Chadoshos. Neither are the Ushpizin.

<<So you do see why I would consider it. Once one says that Shabbas
haMalkah can serve, why not the Ushpizin? What sevara would distinguish
one from the other?

(No I do not have sources; that's what I was asking for!)>>

Following up on R' Saul's he'ara on yichud, think of the Gemara of
issur yichud of the kallah if the choson should go out for a few minutes.

Even if they're panim chadashos, don't be mechabed them with a beracha
(certainly not with bentching unless it's Dovid Hamelech, the only one
who accepted the offer!)
