Why The Heavens?

Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

Why were we made so small, with such great heavens above our heads?

Because He desired creatures that would know wonder.

How do you know?

I appreciate R. Freeman's enormous effort to bring this daily dose to life, every day.

When it comes to mitzvot, we do know what G-d wants from us. But to assert what He desires is way adventurous. Instead of saying "Because He desired..." would not be better to utter: "Maybe, what He desired..."

No harm intended. Only to pinpoint and separate His truth from ours.
