An illustration to understand why the world must have a creator / when you pray or makes a blessing you are speaking directly to G-d
By the Grace of G-d
Rosh Chodesh Tammuz, 5739
Brooklyn, N. Y.
Blessing and Greeting:
I received your note with several questions about HaShem
I will answer you with a simple illustration: If you walk in the street and see a skyscraper, you know that someone made that skyscraper with all its floors, walls, windows, and so on. In the same, but even more certainly, when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, and when you look around and see trees and flowers and birds and all other wonderful creatures, and people, you know that HaShem created them all.
Now, when a human being wants to make anything, he needs materials and tools, and very often he needs helpers. But HaShem is not like a human being; He created and made everything by simply saying, "Let there be!" And so, by the word of HaShem the heavens and the earth were made, and all that is in the whole wide world. Of course, HaShem is only one; He needs no helpers.
As for your other question, if it is possible to talk to HaShem, you surely know that we do it every day when we pray to G-d and/or make a blessing, such as the blessing "Shehakol": "Blessed are You, G-d, our G-d, King of the Universe, by whose word everything came to be." And when we say, "Blessed are You," we clearly speak directly to G-d.
I trust you are learning HaShem’s Torah and doing His Mitzvos, and generally conducting yourself as HaShem wants every Jewish girl to conduct herself, being a daughter of Sarah, Rivkah, Rachel and Leah, the Mothers of our Jewish people. And although this is a must in any case, it is also the way to receive and enjoy HaShem's blessings for yourself, your dear parents and for all our Jewish people.
With blessing
M. Schneerson
