Shabbos Table Talk
- What are two things that you would call “made man”?
- Trace the materials these things are made of to their original source.
- What are two raw materials that Hashem created that you really appreciate and like using?
Shaar Habitachon
Man can only change the shape of materials that already exist. But they cannot make new materials.
שער הבטחון
עוֹשִׂים מִבְּנֵי אָדָָם, אֲשֶׁר לֹא יְחַדְּשׁוּ
בּמַעֲשֵֹיהֶם זוּלָתִי
צוּרָה מִקְרִית, אַךְְ
הַשֹּׁרֶשׁ וְהַצּוּרָה
חָעַצְמִית אֵין לָהֶם בָּהֶם שׁוּם תַּחְבּוּלָה וְלֹא יְכֹלֶת לְחַדְּשָׁם
The Bottom Line
I can make things, but can I create things?
