Despite all the promises, God does not and will not do it alone. By the
very act of self-limitation (tzimtzum) through which He creates the
space for human freedom, He gives us responsibility, and only by
exercising it do we reach our full stature as human beings. God saved
Noah from the flood, but Noah had to make the ark. He gave the land of
Israel to the people of Israel, but they had to fight the battles. God
gives us the strength to act, but we have to do the deed. What changes
the world, what fulfils our destiny, is not what God does for us but
what we do for God.
