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. It isn’t only meant to be a day where we refrain from performing certain actions and activities, but rather it’s a time to sit with our family while we’re unplugged from all of our gadgets, devices, and distractions, to focus on each other and our relationships. The scrumptious food at the Shabbat meal is definitely another advantage!
