BAIS HAVAAD'S PARSHA PERSPECTIVES Parshas Bereishis:Becoming A Partner By: Rabbi Shmuel Lichtenstien
Every judge who judges with complete fairness, it is considered as though he had become a partner to Hakadosh Baruch Hu in the creation (Shabbos 10A).

The piyut recited on Yom Kippur in mussaf (Seder avoda), when describing the world before man’s creation, compares it to a banquet with no guests. So the tachlis hab’ria, the purpose of the creation was for the arrival of man.
