Hashem gave the Jews so much power over the world. He endowed us with tremendous responsibility to ensure that only positive energies reverberate through the universe. Through our actions the scales of good and evil are tipped. Let's explore how this works on a technical level.
The Medrash clearly states the just as a contractor looks to his blueprints and builds his towers, so too Hashem used the Torah as the "map" of the world.
Our sages teach us that Hashem, the Torah and the Jewish people are one unit. הקב"ה וישראל ואורייתא חד הם. This does not mean that we are equals, ח"ו. The Ramchal in Adir BaMarom explains that The Torah is the manifestation of G-d's Will and the souls of the Yidden and rooted in the letters of the Torah. We are the vehicles of actualization of the Divine Plan.
The new souls of Am Yisrael in each generation learn the Torah anew, arriving at novel understanding and developing unique approaches of analysis. Hashem constantly shapes the world around the Torah that the Jews are learning in any particular Dor, for we are drawing the "map" of that era. This gives great insight as to why different styles of learning are used in different demographics and in different times. The Torah HaKedosha melds itself to the souls of those who learn it and fulfill their spiritual and intellectual needs; and the world follows suit.
More on this to come...
