Keep the Shabbat strictly, according to the Halachah,³⁶ with all its details and specifics. The mnemonic by which to remember this, is the verse,³⁷ “You turn back-Tashev-תשבman-Enosh-אנוש into pulp.” The word “You turn back-Tashev-תשב” consists of the same letters as, “Shabbat-שבת.” The word used for man here is, “Enosh-אנוש” indicating that, “Even if he is an idolater, like the generation of *Enosh,*he will be forgiven.”³⁸ who does this, and the person who holds strong to it, one who guards the Shabbat from desecrating it-Mechalelo, and guards his hand from doing any evil.’ (Isaiah 56:2). Do not read ‘from desecrating it-*Mechalelo-*מחללו,’ but rather, ‘he is forgiven-*Machul Lo-*מחל לו.’”
