The Chassidic masters teach that the purpose of creation is to make this world into a dwelling place for G‑d. Not the worlds of the angels, not some heavenly realm of souls and spiritual beings—but this earthy, palpable, mundane physical world. In order to bring Moshiach, this is what we need to work on—we've got to bring G‑d down to earth.

doesn't this make sense for a religion? Focus on this world, not some dreamy afterlife where wrongs are righted, etc etc. If it's not about this world of real people and real life, then what's the point? The rest is just imagination and wishful thinking.
