I relish reading it as one of life's pleasures. I have a question that I hope you can answer. We are taught that Hashem is an entity that cannot be fathomed by an individual. Yet by answering the question below, you might help me and others peer beyond the veil. The book of Proverbs in a sense continues the work of the book of Genesis in that it seeks to refine behavior. In the words of the Zohar and Midrash Rabbah, G-d peered into the Torah and created the world. If He is G-d, why would He need to do so?
