Fashioned by Divinity

 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.
