The very first words of the Ten Commandments are: “I am”. What could be more definite? God exists, And, thereby, the entire universe came into being. The ‘big question’ is answered, We exist in a world that was created for a purpose. What is that purpose? Read on, dear friends. The very last words of the Ten Commandments are: “your neighbor”. Nothing high and lofty here, But quite close to home. We are each to be neighbors -- to God and to each other. As Hillel taught, “What is hateful to you, do not do unto others. All the rest is commentary. Go now, and study it!”
