Creating a World with Purpose - Rabbi Jesse Horn

has two fascinating insights that I think put to give you give you like a beautiful picture beautiful idea he points out that the Mitzvah which most people translat be fruitful and multiply just quantitatively more have a lot of people Peru like per a lot and R like Ro a lot a lot of kids more more people says it's incorrect that's a misunderstanding of the the goal is not just to have people to quantitatively have more people but rather he points out that the word Pur is different from ru correct puru means quantitatively more like peros like fruit but Ru comes from the word tarbut the goal is not just to cultivate um masses and masses of people the goal is to create a society give them culture the goal is to educate to guide to direct children the goal is not just to have them that goes to raise them the right way ruming gives them the right culture the right tarbo the right perspective and attitude the Mitzvah puru is not just to have children as many as he can but to help cultivate planet Earth and Humanity with a population which identifies with Raton Hashem the goal is not just to have children but to guide them to give them purpose to give them meaning to to give them and the values of has for mankind and perhaps this is coupled beautifully with the point that he makes in the beginning of the makes as well although and others make the same point which is creation is captures a deep hasic value to it let me say it this way a person who believes that the world was eternal isn't just historically wrong but rather ideologically wrong as well that's how it first phrases it because when a person believes the world is ET Eternal not only they historically wrong but because Hashem created the world means there's a purpose to it Shem has values has a goal has an agenda and therefore Mankind's I guess Mission Kell perhaps more than the rest of mankind but mankind at large is to create a society create a world create an environment which reflects the values of Hashem we're designed to accom Lish a purpose as Humanity at large CLR more specifically and perhaps the goal of procreating is designed to further that agenda bringing in people to the world and educating them inspiring them directing them towards a life of religious meeting
