Partners in Creation

A speech creates a book which creates a movement to remind others that small utterances make an impact - because we are partners in creation.

The story of how the Ahavas Yisrael Women's Groups movement began.

It is a holy and wonderful accomplishment to remember: we don't know how our choices will unfold, but we know there is a Life Force ready and desirous of receiving and nurturing them.

A surprising story of impact!

When you stand in the presence of the Source of life and make a choice to do its will, the whole world disappears.  You are beyond time, and yet remain a very real bridge for the Source of Life to use your act for good in ways you cannot fully fathom.

We are more insulated from feelings of discouragement when we understand our simple but powerful role in the results of our lives.

A woman's desire to honor the memory of her rabbi after his passing bears delightful friuits.

Our loyalty to the value of our planting bears awesome fruits.

One of the basic takeaways of Passover is that the Creator of the universe has placed our hands on the steering wheel.

Remembering the power of our partnership role, as small as it is, can spur us to take humble, sincere action and then be surprised by its impact.

Our small deeds create the when, what and how of the Creator's influence showing up in the world.

What happens when a seed of insight or inspiration moves us to act?  It becomes like a torch that can travel forward and light many lights.

Standing in a moment of your life and acknowledging that your sincere and principled choice is waiting to be received and grown into something special makes you a partner in creation. 

Listen to this story of a kindness boomerang to appreciate that small and delicate choices are bigger and more resilient than meets the eye.

A woman who had experienced Divine assistance in her efforts to get healthy became willing to undertake heretofore impossible choices - because she knew she was a Partner in Creation.

Do your actions matter? Yes! Even non big, dramatic, or confident actions?  Still yes!  Why?  Because we were placed in this world to partner with the Life-Force of all creation.  Those who plant seeds do not concern themselves with how to extract roots, alchemize dirt and water and sun, or manage photosynthesis.  They plant knowing that the world is designed, waiting, and anxious to receive and grow their wisely planted small seeds.  When we know this, our life changes.  When we know this, we become Partners in Creation.      

Enjoy these heroic small deeds and wisely planted seeds!
