The Basics of Judaism: G-d & Torah: The Purpose of Humans in the World:

What is the purpose of human beings in this world?

The purpose of human beings in this world is to serve G-d. This is clearly specified in the very first paragraph of the Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chayim 1:1). It is also stated in the last verse of Ecclesiastes: "Fear G-d and keep His commandments, for this is the whole [duty of] man".
