It is beautiful


יב וַיַּרְא אֱלֹהִים כִּי טוֹב12 And GOD saw that it was good!
Genesis 1

When Creation was developing (evolving, some of you may prefer), the Creator saw that everything was beautiful. Everything has its place, as Rabbi Yaacov Khuli wrote (Ma'am Lo'ez). When we disrupt the habitat of animals or destroy the magnificent forests, the consequences are painful for humanity. The misuse and exploitation of minerals without any sense of responsibility and respect, brings forth tragic events. Protecting our environment as well as the habitat of other members of Creation will have, obviously,  great benefits for us and future generations. Farming in ways that are healthy for the ground and eating what is allowed by biblical principles can prevent illnesses.  You may believe that GOD created everything and gave instructions on how to administrate it or perhaps, you have doubts. Regardless of your views, faith or doubts, the facts is that here we live in a beautiful planet. Like the Creator, let us feel this world with beauty, with what is good. Today, in a world full of sorrow and pain, we need beautiful songs, poetry, paintings, words of encouragement and comfort. We must protect the beautiness of Earth, our home. 

יא  אֶת הַכֹּל עָשָׂה יָפֶה בְעִתּוֹ11  GOD made everything beautiful in its time.

Qoheleth 3 (Ecclesiastes)
