Shabbat Is
 
Shabbat is a means by which the Jew reiterates the truth of creation, and thus, of the Creator. Mimicking what G-d did, resting on the 7th day independent from other peoples, we also announce G-d's presence to the other nations through our cessation from labor. As they ask us why we rest, we respond and explain the historical truth of creation, and G-d, whereby we bring the concept of the Creator's Existence to prominence in the world.
(Maimonides)
