​Chapter 2, Part 1: The Purpose of Creation​
📖 דרך השם – Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto

In this week's engaging discussion, we opened Chapter 2 of Derech Hashem, diving into the powerful topic:
​"The Purpose of Creation."​
Together, we explored the foundational idea that God’s primary intent in creating the world was to bestow His ultimate goodness onto humanity.

The conversation quickly became personal and relatable. We acknowledged how easily negativity can overshadow the immense good already present in our lives. It’s human nature to fixate on individual problems, losing sight of the bigger picture.

Esther shared a real-life example of a day filled with small frustrations that seemed overwhelming—but when viewed from a broader lens, revealed a day rooted in abundance. This helped us understand how perception often distorts reality, especially when we’re not grounded in trust.

We discussed how entering mid-surgery would feel chaotic if we didn’t know what was happening—similarly, we must learn to trust the Surgeon, Hashem, rather than getting stuck in fragmented moments.

One of the most impactful takeaways:
🧠 Trust is not passive. It’s an active spiritual muscle that we must build and choose again and again.

By actively choosing trust:

• We realign with divine orchestration
• We soften into life’s flow instead of resisting it
• We begin to receive the very goodness Hashem intended for us

We also explored:

• Daily spiritual practices that ground us
• How to notice resistance and redirect it
• Choosing pleasure, presence, and simplicity over control and chaos

💬 Key Takeaway:

We left inspired to continue cultivating a relationship with Hashem rooted in simplicity, trust, and proactive faith.

Looking forward to continuing this journey together 💫

With warmth,
