G-d Needs: The Interview

Recently I have been meeting some regular 11213.org followers and they have been sharing their sentiments about our over emphasis about G-d and his needs. They have all been saying the same line…“enough we get it , we get it, G-d needs your mitzvos…can we move on?”. 

And to them I say…N0!

Why the stubbornness? Simple:

The fact that people are saying enough already just shows how much more attention must be given to it.

You see it works something like this and I hate to quote Steve Jobs but his famous line of “a lot of times, people don’t know what they want until you show it to them” in this particular case of G-d Needs is absolutely true. This concept of G-d’s vulnerability is not a piece in the puzzle but rather it is the magnificent PICTURE THE PUZZLE reveals when it is completed. So the time to painfully connect the pieces of the puzzle one by one is long over and and the time to meticulously observe the masterful picture the puzzle reveals is finally here.

There is no better time to revisit this concept than Yud-Tes Kislev so I am posting an interview we recently recorded addressing this issue.
