The meaning of the Sabbath is to celebrate time rather than space. Six days a week we live under the tyranny of things of space; on the Sabbath we try to become attuned to holiness in time. It is a day on which we are called upon to share in what is eternal in time, to turn from results of creation to the mystery of creation; from the world of creation to the creation of the world.
-A. Heschel, "The Sabbath"
