RAV KOOK ON Va'etchanan: In Mind and Heart

The Aleinu prayer, recited at the conclusion of every prayer service, contains the following verse:
"Know it today and ponder it in your heart: God is the Supreme Being in heaven above and on the earth below — there is no other." (Deut. 4:39)
What is the difference between 'knowing it' and 'pondering it in our heart'?

"Hashem, your God, has commanded to you to make the Sabbath day" (Devorim 5:15).
The above passage seems peculiar. During the time of our Holy Temple, may it be rebuilt soon, the head rabbinical court, or Beit Din, had the power to declare a leap year and add a 13th month, or to decide whether a month will be 29 or 30 days long. As such, Hashem empowers our wise men with the ability to influence when the holidays will fall, according to their decisions in the Beis Din.
If the Beit Din declares a leap year, then Purim, Pesach, and all subsequent holidays will fall a month later. By declaring a "full month" of 30 days, the upcoming holiday is pushed off by a day. Yet, no matter what the Beis Din decided, Shabbat remained Shabbat, and is forever on Saturday, the seventh day of the week! If that's the case, then how can Hashem command us to make the Sabbath day? Only He can make the Sabbath day!
