More than just means
to make money, our jobs can be one vehicle for setting the world right.
Avodah connotes service. (It is also the word
for slavery, which is involuntary service.) Work is not only a necessary part
of life; it is a form of service to the world, to the rest of humanity, and to
God. We are meant to be of service, to be partners with God in the ongoing
creation of the world. Yet even as we serve God, we also serve our fellow human
beings.
