The root of the mitzvah

Shabbat is a reminder that the world was created and did not always exist - in six days God created heaven and earth, and on the seventh He rested. To make this memory tangible, we too stay close to our place on this day and do not set out on a long journey, walking only for a stroll and for pleasure.
