The Contract (7:19)
Would you sign a contract without reading it first? Of course not! But that’s precisely what the Jews did when G-d offered them the Torah. They said “We will do and (then) we will listen”. The reason for this is because the Jews trusted G-d implicitly that he would not let go of them or abandon them

In addition, by making our lives a good, wholesome and meaningful one, it will be a tribute to them

Friday Nights Unplugged (8:59)
While most of us enjoy the physical, the same can't be said about the spiritual. The former is alluring and easy to relate to, while the latter requires much effort and inner struggle to appreciate. This is why G-d instructs us to combine the physical and the spiritual, as this creates the ultimate experience benefiting both body and spirit. Shabbat is a perfect example of this
