Shabbat is the most precious present mankind has received from the treasure house of G-d ...

Shabbat is a reminder of the two worlds - this world and the world to come; it is an example of both worlds. For the Sabbath is joy, holiness, and rest; joy is part of this world; holiness and rest are something of the world to come.

-Abraham Joshua Heschel, The Sabbath, p. 18-19
