““Shin Beth—Aleph—Shava’: God’s passion. The first letter of the alphabet is Aleph and represents God. Shin Beth Aleph refers to God’s passionate love. The first thing you are to do on this day of rest is to just sit back and let God love you, and enjoy His passionate love. Shin Beth—Beth—Shavav: Kindle a fire. The next thing you are to do on the Sabbath is Shavav, which is to allow God’s passionate love to kindle a fire of love and affection for Him in return. Shin Beth—Hei—Shavah: To take as captive, to be taken away as a bride. When you and God love each other he will take you as his personal captive, take you away as a bride to His bridal chamber to be intimate with you. Shin Beth—Chet—Shavach: To sooth, calm, relax, and calm you nerves. When He takes you away as His bride and loves on you, you will become Shavach, the pressures and stresses of the prior six days will settle down, be soothed and you will find your frayed nerves calming down.””
