Let My People Know

Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz: “our duty is to improve and perfect the work of God.”

A God-fearing individual need not necessarily fear the “new”; he need not necessarily feel that it is his duty to fight against new things and protest them.

On the contrary, we believe that if “God created to do,” then our duty is to improve and perfect the work of God in the world.

God says, “I finished My work; now it is your turn.”
