          <english>At Mount Sinai, &lt;b&gt;the one and only God caused us to hear&lt;/b&gt; the instructions to &lt;b&gt;“guard”&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;“remember”&lt;/b&gt; Shabbat &lt;b&gt;as one word,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; by miraculously saying them together. &lt;b&gt;The Lord is the one and only God, and His name&lt;/b&gt;—every description of Him, every action He does, and every creation He makes—&lt;b&gt;is one&lt;/b&gt; with Him. The fact that God chose us to receive His Torah, brings us &lt;b&gt;fame, glory, and praise&lt;/b&gt; throughout the world.</english>

          <text>1 Alternatively, “My beloved” refers to God. At the onset of Shabbat, we ask God to come to the “bride”—the Jewish Nation—to bestow upon us a special revelation of holiness. This revelation enables us to properly “welcome the face of Shabbat.”</text>

          <text>2 These words can also be translated to mean, “guard” and “remember” the “One” God in every “word.”</text>

          <text>3 The holiness of Shabbat is so great that it not only comes from the “head” (מֵרֹאשׁ) of the spiritual worlds, but it also comes from “before” the worlds (מִקֶּדֶם)—from a source that is entirely beyond the world.</text>

          <text>4 Just as a rooster shakes itself to rid itself of dust, so should every Jew “shake” himself in order to improve himself. One should not leave it up to others to shake him; rather, the change should come from within, like the rooster, to ensure it is meaningful.</text>

          <text>5 “Your light” refers to the light of the soul. We must use that light to “raise and brighten” our physical body as well.</text>
