The True Purpose of Creation
By Rabbi Pesach Wolicki

"Fear not, as I am with you; I will bring your descendants from the East, and from the West I will gather you. I will say to the North: "Give," and to the South: "Do not withhold; bring My sons from afar and My daughters from the ends of the earth." Everything that is called by My name, and for My honor I created it, I fashioned it, truly, I made it." (Isaiah 43:4-7)

I am writing these words from my home in Bet Shemesh, about a thirty-minute drive from Jerusalem. My apartment block includes Jewish families who came to Israel from the United States, Ethiopia, Morocco, and Russia. One of my neighbors across the street is from India. My daughter is married to a wonderful young man whose family is from Yemen. This is Israel at the time of the ingathering of the exiles.

Think about that. These verses in Isaiah 43 are the day-to-day reality of life in Israel. Plain and simple. No commentary necessary. In these verses, Isaiah describes my neighborhood and family. He speaks of the nation of Israel returning to our land from the East (my Indian neighbor), the West (my family and our other neighbors of American origin), the North (Russia), and the South (Yemen). And I am not unique. Not at all. My experience is the experience of all who call Israel their home. We live in Biblical times.

But what about the third verse in this sequence? What is the connection between this verse and the verses that precede it? For greater context, I’ll point out that chapter 43 is entirely about the ingathering of the exiles of Israel. This verse, a general statement about God’s creation of all things, seems out of place.
