Samson Raphael Hirsch provides the reader with a very emotional exhortation to observe the Sabbath. It is essentially a long speech geared towards Jews. He makes very excellent analogies that spur the spirit to observe Shabbat. Translator Ben Josephussoro: "Every Jew in German speaking countries, knows how much the writings of this man, with their vivid freshness of color, their modernness, their almost unrivaled thoroughness, relieved by flashes of bright humor, have contributed towards a clearer conception of the mission of Judaism, and hence, also towards stimulating and elevating Jewish effort for its realization. These writings have created ideals which have been instrumental in training the wealthy to charity and humility, and the poor to that unwavering trust in God and that cheerful spirit which is so often admired."
