Rava said, If a righteous man deserves it, he can be a creator of a world as it is written, "But your iniquities have distinguished..." (Isaiah 59:2)
Rabbah created a man and sent him to Rabbi Zeira. Rabbi Zeira spoke to him but he did not answer. He said to him, "You are a creature of the magicians. Return to your dust." -Sanhedrin 65b
Only a human, a person of flesh and blood, has a soul. What each of us possesses is more than a talent for speech but something infinitely deeper and more powerful as we are made by God and as such house something of the Ineffable in us.
