The practice of reading the weekly Torah portion twice in the original Hebrew and once in the Aramaic Targum is not mere good advice, and it is certainly more than just a remedy for good fortune. Rather, it is an obligation that applies to every Jew.
Even a person who has many servants should try to prepare personally something for the Sabbath. R' Chisda would mince vegetables; Rabbah and R' Yosef would chop wood. Every person should make them his example, for honoring the Sabbath is a privilege.
