- 0:01Garden of knowledge. Shit number 28, So, we've made
- 0:06it through the creation narrative about to read and
- 0:08learn about the deeper understanding of the creation of
- 0:11humanity. And, as Jim said, let us make
- 0:13man in our image, according to our likeness, Who is Hashem
- 0:18speaking to let us make man seemed rather strange
- 0:23formulation. So some say that I share them
- 0:26was being very humble and he was involving the angels and his
- 0:30decision to create man others. Say they're Hashem was involving
- 0:34man himself so to speak in every generation saying, work with me,
- 0:39so you can attain the level of a human being, that's why I
- 0:42created you Meaning you do your bet and I'll do mine and it's
- 0:48only the partnership between us. There makes you fully human.
- 0:55The mad rush tells a story about a non-jewish pass in your
- 0:58office. Robbie, I cave, I shall wanted
- 1:00you to be circumcised our breasts.
- 1:03The why didn't you just create you in that way?
- 1:08The Torah tells I shall borrow hello Kim lassos all his work
- 1:12which I Shem created to do. We make those words from the
- 1:15Torah from Kiddush wide lassos to do Wouldn't have been
- 1:21sufficient at the Tara said I shall finish all his work, which
- 1:24he created. So the last sauce is a really
- 1:29important word here. Hashem gives us free choice.
- 1:32We've discovered that, and we've discussed that previously.
- 1:35He gives us the opportunity to receive all the amazing rewards,
- 1:38through doing Mitzvahs, cause you could have creative trees,
- 1:42that would have loaves of bread. But in letting us grow the wheat
- 1:45ourselves grind the flour and bake the bread.
- 1:48He gives us a chance to do so many Mitzvahs along the way.
- 1:53In this way we understand, I share makes us partners with him
- 1:57when we do Mitzvahs. We literally give energy to hold
- 2:01of creation. That's why it says, I share
- 2:04borrow a low Kim, which God created lassos to do the tasks,
- 2:09that I Shem leaves for us to do such as giving a birth to a
- 2:12child, the age of eight days, makes us a partner with him.
- 2:16He left over things for us to do to continue them to create a
- 2:21partnership and to conclude the Creation story once we do.
- 2:26Albert Hashem, does his bit Or the colloquialism.
- 2:32Shame helps those who help themselves a person has to not
- 2:35die. Unless he makes a serious effort
- 2:39to improve himself, which is what our purpose is, then,
- 2:42nothing much is going to help. Pass.
- 2:45The Mustard is not a day since Hashem.
- 2:48His best partner is right there with him.
- 2:50Lamar tells us that there are three Partners in creating a
- 2:53person as chairman, the mother and father you.
- 2:56As we grow, we assume an increase in partnership with
- 2:59Hashem. By perfecting his creation.
- 3:03So it might start off as an equal partnership, the parents
- 3:05create the body and I'll Show puts the soul.
- 3:09But they can be one partner that it's stronger.
- 3:12One part of that is more dynamic in the process.
- 3:16And if we build that partnership with Hashem, that's the
- 3:18partnership that get stronger. Just like in every business Each
- 3:23partner must do his job the best of his ability.
- 3:26So too must we strengthen those Partnerships.
- 3:31It'll take life seriously. You have to take responsibility
- 3:33for the things that we say in that will be due and get on with
- 3:37performing the tasks that we need to do learning Tara doing
- 3:40this with other means which we accomplished our task, the
- 3:43terror of the Mitzvahs at the light and vessels which enable
- 3:45us to get rid of the, it's ahora te get rid of Illusions and
- 3:49distortions of reality. And the idea here is that if we
- 3:55truly care for ourselves, we really want to express.
- 3:59Our identity as a human being. The more we connect with that
- 4:02partnership with Hashem, the more we will do.
- 4:04So the more we can perceive the truth and not get misled by
- 4:08Illusions. The better we will be That was
- 4:12heard as well that we have to actually done and that we double
- 4:15the things that we think we're lacking.
- 4:17We don't often Dublin for things that we need as a day-to-day.
- 4:23So Shalimar is teaching us here that we have two dozen.
- 4:27For the help to recognize that partnership.
- 4:31If you've never done that before, try for try today,
- 4:34doesn't have Shannon ask him to help you to explore.
- 4:37What it means to be partners with him.
- 4:40Have a good day, take care of yourself.
