Maimonides’ writings are quintessential Torah observance. What can I do on a Friday morning, with kids on school vacation running around like banshees, a bit of contract work to complete, and 2 meals for 14 people each for Shabbos to prepare.... What can I do to convince you that Maimonides, a fine pharisse, like all current day orthodox Jews, keeps 100% of the actual Law of Moses, exactly as G-d intended, (even without our Temple, temporarily, as He intended that too...) and that your interpretation or rendering of the text, even from a Chabad website, means nothing?
No offense.
Jews,have a great Shabbos! Gentiles, embrace your Creator the G-d of Israel! He gave you seven ways to connect to Him and they enlighten the eyes and make live fulfilling (not to mention eternal.)

Who am I to tell you what is the correct interpretation? We haven't discussed everything Maimonides wrote, and I could agree with 99.9% of everything else Maimonides interpreted. My opinion is Maimonides contradicts the Tanakh in that instance because it refers to foreigners keeping Sabbath.
We debate because we have freedom given to us by God. :)
That doesn't mean we aren't both Jews, and we both prepare for Shabbat right now (you're cooking, I'm taking a quick break from cleaning).
You wish them to follow seven man-made laws, while I wish them to read Tanakh in Hebrew.
Have a wonderful Shabbat everyone! :)
