Why do we feel different on the Sabbath?

As an orthodox Jew, I feel different on the Sabbath and I always wondered why. The answer is encoded in the 4th commandment of the Ten Commandments. The Torah says, Zachor Es Yom Hashabas Lekadsho, or remember the Sabbath day to sanctify it. The first letters rearranged, spells Zeh Keili, or this is my God. This phrase is found at Exodus 15:2, where Rashi, the super commentator, states that even the maid servants saw more than the propehts and felt the presence of God at the splitting of the sea.

Hence, on the Sabbath day we do feel the presence of God. The Baal Haturim makes use of Bible codes as well. He was a prolific writer around 1000 years ago. I follow his practices.
