Emulating G-d
"G-dlike" or "G-dly" is usually what we use to describe an extraordinary individual, one who is enormously altruistic, selfless and kind. In fact, it is a Torah obligation for each and every one of us to "walk in the ways of G-d" - to become G-dlike.
In this Week of Learning, we'll explore this seemingly unattainable goal of G-dliness. We'll examine the different attributes of G-d and how we can emulate them stage by stage. By striving to achieve this goal, we will enhance our relationship with ourselves, with others and with G-d.
