Why Does G-d Need Us Here? - Rabbi Akiva Fox

when you come home and your little kid runs over - and he says look the Hedy I made you something special and he shows you a little picture that he made that doesn't look like anything it's like Mishka bobble and cran marks all over the place and you show him you're excited you make it like this is something you were waiting for you a desperate for it you know why you do that because you love him and you know that he loves you God did the same thing with the world it's not that he needed something he doesn't need anything but he made the world as if he needed us to need him because he wanted a relationship with us that's not the essence but that's the way he created the world that he would be as if lacking something and we would fill that void this is the way the method the format that he created the world that he was as if waiting for us not because he needed us but to show us love as if it's something that we give to him [Music]
