“Rebbe Nachman says, G-d created man because He loves stories.  The whole world is G-d telling a story.  G-d is telling us stories, creating the world, creating people, telling long stories.  There is such a thing as prayer, which is very deep, but, Rebbe Nachman says, prayer is not the deepest depths of closeness to G-d.  The deepest depths of closeness to G-d is when you can tell G-d your story.” ~ R’ Shlomo Carlebach zt”l
