GEN145 Perpetuate your race.  Extend the thread of the generations and raise up descendants to carry on what you have started.  Plant in the garden of God new human shoots to whom you will mean everything and whom you will train to serve God.  There can be no higher activity than to bring into existence human beings, so that you may train them toward the perfecting of humanity.  And there is no greater blessing than to succeed in this endeavor.  In order to do so properly, God says: Make the world the right kind of dwelling place for man.  Begin with a family.  Form a circles around yourself, and into this circle draw the largest number of God’s creatures and gifts in order that you and yours may be able to flourish in it. This circle is the home and the gifts—your property.  [Samson Raphael Hirsch, Horeb] GOODSOC 95
