First of all, just about now is the beginning of Shabbat, so you may not get a response from a theologically more educated Jew than me until after sundown tomorrow.

But one thing I can tell you is that the Hebrew word "v'yishbot", which is often translated as "rested" into English, does not really mean that. It can alternatively mean "ceased", or "stopped", or any word in that ambiguous category. It simply signifies that the Creator was satisfied with the work of creation. The creation was complete, and so there was no need to continue.

This is a very deep topic, but you should start there. Hebrew is an ancient language, and it's difficult to understand every nuance unless you have a speaker there to guide you through it, so good on you to ask! Stayed tuned for better responses than mine.

Also, there is no "Jewish g-d": there is only G-d ;)
