When we miss a step, it's always my fault. He dances in flats; I have to dance in heels; he's on the ceiling, I'm on the floor; he can be late, I can't. He pinches me in the clinches; I mustn't. And Cyd Charisse is waiting for me to fail. But when we get it together, it's sheer ecstasy.--Michael Joseph Gross
Guided by Dr. Neil Gillman, chair of the Department of Jewish Philosophy at The Jewish Theological Seminary of America, The Way Into Encountering God in Judaism helps us discover the many images of God in Jewish tradition, how they originated, and what they can mean for us and our spiritual lives.
· Who God is. Creator? Friend? Force in nature? There are a multitude of answers, each with fascinating things to teach us about our spiritual selves.
· What God’s nature is. Caring and loving? Abandoning and abusive? Nice or not nice? Traditional Jewish texts—and also, how we go about our daily lives—provide ample support for each.
· What sacred texts tell us about God. In a journey through the Bible, rabbinic literature, midrash, the Jewish prayer book, and Jewish theology and philosophy, we can trace our changing relationships with God.
· Why we seek to define God. In exploring what it means to encounter God, Gillman helps us to understand what the search itself says about our own spirituality.
