Why we thank God for our deficiencies
['Rebbetzin Shuli Liss']
Jewish Chronicles
After we eat our food, there is a blessing that we say, called boreh nefashot.
It goes like this: “Blessed are You… who creates numerous souls and their deficiencies; for all that You have created with which to maintain the life of every being.
Why would we be thanking God for creating a deficiency?
The deficiencies in our life give space for others to help us.
If we were all self-sufficient, there would be no need for kindness or human interaction at all.
