In our previous article, we began exploring the question of why Hashem created the world. The Maharal, Ramchal, and other key Jewish thinkers explain as follows: Hashem is absolute and ultimate goodness. However, there are two aspects of goodness. Hashem is good, but He also has the ability to do good unto others. Before Hashem created the world, there was only Hashem Himself. Therefore, Hashem was internally good, but He was not actively expressing this goodness by giving or doing good unto others. Hashem chose to express His capacity for doing good unto others by creating man, upon whom Hashem would bestow the ultimate goodness.

Baruch Habah, Queens Jewish Link readers! I’d like to say that summer is winding down, but with the ongoing heat and humidity still going strong, a bit more air conditioning, and tall glasses of iced lemonade (or your preferred beverage) may be needed to keep cool.

When he’s at the train station, heading back to the Wright brothers, the man who’d been leaning over him in the train before, offers him a large amount of money in exchange for the Wright brothers’ plans and photos. Sender refuses to do anything that would hurt the Wright brothers, and the man warns him that he will be sorry for not accepting.

Recap: Bubby sent a telegram telling Sender to come home. When he came home, she informed him that he would be staying home now and working for Mr. Corman the iceman.

Someone comes to the door, and he realizes that it’s the stranger who had leaned over him on the train.
