G‑d’s Lawyers


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

On Rosh Hashanah, G‑d takes Himself to court. He looks down from above at this world and, as I’m sure you may realize, it doesn’t always look so good.

G‑d is within this world as well. He is found in every atom of this world. It may sound strange, but this is what is happening: He as He is above takes Himself, as He is present within this world, to trial.

Only the soul of Man can argue on His behalf. So we do that, as lawyers for the defense. All that is required is to awaken the G‑dliness within our own souls.

The spark of G‑d within us below connects with the Infinite Light of G‑d above. The circuit is complete and the universe is rebooted with a fresh flow of energy for an entire year.

Helping G-d
As i understand it, our souls are on trial at this time of year, which ARE parts of G-d existing in this world, therefore it would follow that G-d would be on trial as well. When we engage in defending G-d it turns our thinking around and helps us understand our relationship with Him more fully. Does G-d need us to defend Him? YES, if only so WE can grow into the people He created us to be. Tzvi, please correct me if i've misinterpreted. Thanks! Have a beautiful and blessed day!

How about if we think about using Mediators and lower the tone and preserve the relationship?

He takes Himself to trial???
I thought, we are on trial. How can we say that He takes Himself to trial?
Should we ask for forgivness in the name of
stones and mountains? Does nature, where He is found in, sin???
I am not able to understand how it is ment. Sorry.
Shana tova, Rabbi Freeman!

I find resonance with this "Daily Dose." This notion that I can defend G-d in this material plane implies the strength of the Jew's unique love for and connectedness with HaShem. It also indicates a personal level of responsibility for all Creation.

Rosh Hashana
I do enjoy the articles and study on the Jewish festivals. As an "outsider" to the Jewish culture, I find this site is my favorite, I come back to it each holiday season for fresh insights.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
