A Partner in Creation: 1 Tammuz, 5751 · June 13, 1991An address to counselors going off to work at summer camp:
The Mishna states: “All that G-d created in His universe, He created only for His glory.” The
Baal Shem Tov teaches that G-d continues to re-create all of creation at each and every
instant. Simultaneously, man is granted the ability to reveal G-d's “glory” within it.
And it is the duty of the camp counselors to instill this sense of purpose in their
campers in all that they do.

everything came into existence.” If it is just a little water, why mention all that has come into
existence - for over 5,000 years - through G-d's Divine utterance?/p
