Description

It is an extremely important element of creation that God partners with Man in creation, God does not finish creation by himself but he depends on Man. This the most basic and deepest of Tzelem Elokim, man being created in the image of God, Elokim is the name of Hashem used in creation. This is taken a step further to explain the concept of "Tzafon Hapasuach" that there is a vacuum in creation. This has many significances, however this "North" is of dubious character as it can be good but it can also be bad. This "North" refers to our participation in creation to fill the void. In this partnership, we face free choice: will we do Tikkun Olam or will we destroy the world. The way to choose the Tikkun is only with Yiras Shomayim.
