It is the belief of this site, and those of its members, that our attitude towards Torah observance should reflect a desire to ask "what is the most I can do to be observant?" This question reflects a selfless attitude that seeks to do the right thing in all situations, rather than a minimalist attitude that can lead to rebellion and further transgression. Furthermore, the maximum perspective acknowledges the need for one to prepare so as to be ready for situations in which conflicts between commandments can be avoided, and so that what some call the "minimum" is not all that can be done. For example, it is better to prepare to observe the Sabbath than to not prepare and wind up in a situation in which you may be forced to observe one commandment over another (such as failing to prepare a meal before Sabbath begins, and thus later that day realizing the need to prepare a meal on the Sabbath so as not to cause suffering). A maximizing attitude toward Torah observance is one that is highly encouraged and recommended as we believe it is what Yeshua, the Messiah would do.
