Our Creator

Who Is G-d — And What Does He Want From Me?

It’s the biggest question a Jew can ask — and maybe the most avoided.

We talk about Torah. We talk about mitzvot. But G-d?

People get nervous. Some imagine a big man in the sky with a beard and lightning bolts. Others imagine a distant Creator who made the world and dipped out.

Let’s cut through the confusion and ask the real questions — with real answers rooted in Jewish tradition, reason, and purpose.

1. Who Is G-d? And Why So Many Names?

We can’t fully “know” G-d — He’s beyond everything. But we can know how He reveals Himself to us.

Mercy. Justice. Kindness. Truth. These are not different gods — they’re different dimensions of the One G-d.

And each of G-d’s names — whether it’s Hashem, Elokim, Sha/ddai, or Ad/onai — gives us access to one of those facets. Think of it like tuning into different channels of the same Divine source.

Biblical Hebrew is full of spiritual vocabulary — because our people were raised to recognize G-d everywhere.

No surprise then that our tradition has multiple names for G-d. Each one is a key to a deeper relationship.

2. How Do We Know G-d Exists?

Short answer: There’s no 100% scientific proof. But there’s overwhelming evidence.

From the origin of the universe to the fine-tuning of nature…From the design of DNA to the design of morality…From the miracle of history to the miracle of your breath right now…

The most rational explanation is a Creator.

Science can describe the world. Judaism explains why it’s here.

Could it all be random? Maybe. But betting your soul on “maybe” isn’t a PowerJews move.

3. How Can I Have a Relationship With G-d?

It’s one thing to believe G-d exists. It’s another to know Him.

Belief is intellectual. Relationship is emotional, personal, and lived.

Just like any relationship, it takes time. Talking. Listening. Trust. Action.

G-d isn’t a force field. He’s your Creator. Your King. Your Father. And your Partner in this thing called life.

Torah, prayer, mitzvot — they’re not chores. They’re connection points. They’re how we make G-d real.

When you bless your food, you bring Him to your table. When you keep Shabbat, you bring Him into your schedule. When you do a mitzvah, you bring Him into the world.

4. I Believe G-d Created the World, But Not That He’s Involved

That’s like saying a painter made a masterpiece — and then lit it on fire.

Why would G-d create you… and walk away?

Judaism says G-d is not just the Creator — He is the Sustainer. Every breath you take, every heartbeat, every “coincidence” in your day — He’s in it.

G-d didn’t disappear after Genesis. He’s writing the story with you now.

If He’s close enough to create you, He’s close enough to care.

5. Why Would G-d Care If I Turn On a Light on Shabbat?

Because greatness lives in the details.

If you miss one number on your phone, you don’t make the call. If you leave out one ingredient, your cake flops. If you tune the radio just a little off… you get static.

Spirituality works the same way.

G-d created a world where tuning in to the Divine requires precision. That’s not nitpicking — that’s design.

And it’s not about rules for rules’ sake. It’s about becoming a person of awareness — someone who sees holiness in everyday actions.

Can you be kind once? Sure. But can you live kindly, consistently, in your speech, thoughts, and time?

That’s what G-d is looking for. Not one big heroic moment — but a life filled with tiny, deliberate greatness.

6. Why Did G-d Create Me If He Doesn’t Need Me?

He didn’t make you to fix a flaw. He made you to give.

G-d is perfect. He lacks nothing. So why create a world?

Because love wants to give.

G-d created you so He could give you the ultimate gift — a relationship with Him. A life of meaning. A share in eternity.

You weren’t made to struggle and die. You were made to grow, choose, love, and live forever.

Final Thought: Don’t Just Believe. Build a Relationship.

Don’t settle for vague belief in “a higher power.” Don’t reduce G-d to a theory or an old tradition.

Talk to Him. Walk with Him. Learn His words. Keep His mitzvot. Feel the closeness. Wrestle with the distance. That’s a real relationship.

Judaism isn’t just about knowing that G-d exists — it’s about knowing He’s with you.

Right now. Always.

If this moved you, share it. If it confused you, ask questions. If you’re ready to grow, we’ve got more where that came from.
