Why did G-D create the world? Avinu Malkeinu tune - Cincinnati Chabad House Farbi#2-RC Dalfin

um a friend of mine Rabbi Ferris is still there must know great guy he's been on campus for who knows how long and um so I was by him with my wife for shabas for the Sabbath and we were walking home from kab house to his house and there's some students walking along and a young uh young woman we're talking on as we're walking talking while we're walking and um I say something I I mention the word God I for whatever I said I mentioned she stopped me dead dead on right there don't you dare say that word there is no God okay now I knew I came to Berkeley some haven't changed and um so I caught myself kind of and I said mhm I said let me ask you do you believe there's a force in the world you believe there's an energy in the world yeah sure an energy and a force for sure I said good let's not use the word God the force the energy oh yes Rabbi continue I I love yeah okay whatever whatever whatever whatever works in my books God a force the energy it's all the same okay so God Almighty Force the energy of the universe is an active ingredient or the main ingredient of Our Lives we're not we're not here just by chance this is a very important point there isn't any individual on Earth who is indispensable if God wouldn't need him her I they may whatever whatever the pronoun is they wouldn't be here why are you here why are we here we're here for a purpose we're here for a mission we're here to bring the force energy and God into the universe into the world which by the way is part of the rash theme people make a mistake and they think that rosashana is only for the Jews what did God do six days before rosashana he created the world Heaven and the Earth what heaven and the Earth exactly on the sixth day of creation he created man we celebrate that day as Ros right what are we celebrating we're celebrating the the creation of man as a human being which means all men all women all human beings so R is for everyone of course a non-jewish person doesn't have to go to a synagog and pray and you know no obligation but the recognition that God is the Creator and that God made a world and the purpose of the world is to acknowledge God and to live with God that's a universal thing has nothing to do with Judaism and Jews and I think it's very important to emphasize this with ourselves and others because we all come in contact with all kinds of people right many of them not Jewish or not Jewish yet regardless regardless God created the world world did he have to create the world tell me can you can you explain to me logically why God had to create the world I can't there is no logical explanation at the end of the day the question is why for example in the mystical writings it says God created the world so that people should appreciate him and and study about him okay and why is that important because it says so in a book so whatever reason one gives for for the creation of the world you can always ask at the end of the day why why and what's the answer listen to this amazing answer God had a spiritual lust an infatuation okay we think of lust and infatuation in the sense of the word where someone just gets carried away whether it be for another individual for something in their life and they have to have it and they won't stop till they get it right God had this lust spiritual Lust For to create so he decided why is it okay for a human being to have a lustful a lust and a infatuation and it isn't acceptable for God to have one again you can't you you can't you can't we're not talking about a you know a negative lust or even though the word implies a negative issue but the the word has a meaning a desire with with beyond control a illogical irrational type of desire right I recall when I was a habad rabbi in Marin County California north of Francisco we lived in an area that was called Lucas Valley George Lucas had his light and Industrial Place up the road where he made Star Wars I was right up the road from us but that's not why it was called Lucas Valley it was called Lucas Valley because it was called Lucas Valley happens to be George Lucas found himself a large property there and and he bought the property right so there were we were in a planned Community across the street there were these houses on mountains to go up you had to go up the Steep Mountain it was like scary and one day a Jewish fellow comes to see me and he says to me Rabbi I have a problem I say uh to myself why else you why else would you be coming to me on on the Sabbath we don't see you uh at a class we don't see you but now if you're coming I know you got a problem okay that's our job Rabbi creger and his wife and all the rabbis they don't make that account you know you know Tit for Tat they're there for you really they really are there for you and that's the beauty of a kabad rabbi and reinson they they they're just there for you so anyway the guy comes to me and he says Rabbi I have a problem what's the problem my wife ran away from me a young wife with one or two children he's a doctor he makes a lot of money he's giving her everything and all of a sudden she's a't here where she go she went away with another man cuz he had an infatuation oh no got a problem he was so broken my heart went out there my he was like so devastated you know I didn't want to say this but usually I hear it from the women not the men where men are you know cheating and doing that but here I heard it from the man the doctor so Disturbed so broken my point is the infatuation is here as long as the world was created okay let's not kill ourselves so if we humans have these feelings God surely has these feelings so God had an infatuation I want to create a world I want to have all of us at this table Wednesday night the 25th of September 2024 at a far bran I get pleasure out of God says you mean get you get pleasure out of us sitting here and just talking and singing and eating and having a good time yeah that makes me very happy I'm turn down wow rash is the day when God says I get pleasure from you guys recognizing that I am the king I am God and that we coronate God as the master of the world of all the worlds of all Celestial beings of everything that God makes you notice I say not God made but makes he's making it right now y wrote in the prayer book The Creator who forms the illum illum illuminaries the lights God is not a past time yes I'm sorry there you go where do you think willpower fits into it you mean our willpower God says I'm giving you willpower a CH this isn't an automatic that you that just because God gets pleasure we automatically follow like like um puppets we have free willpower real willpower and real real free choice and it it God will never strip a a human being's Free Will free choice cuz you know if he does that then we're like the Angels or the souls and God didn't make a world for angels and souls people go around with lapel the the angel my angel we're greater than angels we don't need Angels yeah once in a while they're good you know for for for a high but we're greater than Angels just doing what we do every day um what's your first name mosha Moshe said he's so busy and I was thinking about you're so busy you have to finish a project and he comes to a for bran wow that's greater than Angel cuz the Angels aren't busy the angels have all the time in the world to hang out to chill out and big deal by else it counts it counts so we need to make a count so let's say to life to a a Godly life to be Godly and to to to say to ourselves we love you God we want you God and we want to be more Godly as God creates mhm another now okay is there any song that you people you guys know you you know that we can sing together something yeah he know all I know
