Oral Law

The mitzvah that I find most meaningful to me is, "You shall each revere his mother and father, and keep My sabbaths: I the Lord am your God." Respecting my parents is a standard in my family, but in addition this also relates to how respect other adults as well. To me Shabbat is less about the fundamental laws of Sabbath, but more about a time that I need to spend with my family. We always have a nice dinner and we are sometimes accompanied by family friends. To me the idea of Shabbat and respecting my parents are very closely related. As Shabbat dinner is on a Friday night and there plenty of other things to do, spending time with my parents is a very good way to show them I appreciate them.
