E-mail DoItForDovid@gmail.com “The blessing - that you shall heed [the mitzvos]… and the curse - if you shall not heed [the mitzvos] and you stray from the path." When mentioning the blessing, the Torah tells us that you shall follow the commandments of Hashem, but the curse comes about when not only are the mitzvos not performed, but also the sinner strays from the path laid out for him. The Maharal explains that this was done specifically by Shabbos, though it applies in other cases, because Shabbos is the most striking example of the following concept: Remembering Shabbos refers to the mitzvos asei, the positive commandments, of the day, such as Kiddush and Oneg Shabbos – delighting in it, while “Guarding Shabbos” refers to the negative commandments, such as the prohibition against lighting fires or discussing business matters.
