In the Work of Our Hands
G‑d is not found due to the capacity of a place, but by His desire to be there. And where He desires most to be found is in the work of our hands, fixing up His world.
G‑d is not found due to the capacity of a place, but by His desire to be there. And where He desires most to be found is in the work of our hands, fixing up His world.
Our masters taught: There are three partners in man -- G-d, his father, and his mother. His father inseminates the white substance, out of which are formed the child's bones, sinews, and nails, the brain in his head, and the white of his eye. His mother inseminates the red substance, out of which are formed the child's skin, flesh, and hair, and the black of his eye. G-d implants in him spirit, soul, beauty of countenance, eyesight, the capacity to hear, the capacity to speak, and the capacity to walk, as well as knowledge, understanding, and intelligence. When man's time to depart from the world approaches, G-d takes away His part and leaves to the father and mother the parts contributed by them.
— Talmud, Niddah 31a

All the world’s problems stem from light being withheld.
Our job then, is to correct this. Wherever we find light, we must rip away its casings, exposing it to all, letting it shine forth to the darkest ends of the earth.
Beginning with the light you yourself hold.
