Trivia

Ask at Your Shabbos Table

In parshas Bereishis, the Torah tells us that Hashem addressed the malachim and said to them, “Let us make a man...” Rashi explains that even though Adam was created only by Hashem, Hashem was humble and consulted with malachim regarding creating a man.

Ask around your Shabbos table: Since someone who is reading that verse can make a mistake and think that Hashem had partners in creating a man, why didn’t the Torah hide this conversation that took place between Hashem and malachim?!

Menucha’s Answer: Because of its great importance, the Torah wanted to teach a lesson in humility even at the expense of this possible error (see Rashi’s commentary).
