Questions for today:
What compels an unordinary attention to the tiniest detail?
We are learning of the impact of our action.
We discussed how this physical world is formulated through speech, which is expressed by the letter ‘Hey’ in the Creator's name.
Now think of a true genius and imagine their capacity to think. Now, boil that vast capacity down into one idea. Now, ask them to express that as a single letter.
It's an enormous challenge, something we only do for something very cherished and for a compelling reason.
The creation is described as 'be’hi’baram' - with the letter 'Hey' G-d created the world.
One letter.
Jumble the letters of behibaram and you have 'Abraham' who was known for his kindness.
This is because of the tremendous kindness necessary for the Creator to condense Himself into creating this entire world through one letter.
The original creation was unsolicited however, ever since then it is us who elicit that kindness for G-d to create the world.
We do this through our acts of kindness
