jbml thln 23b in any case public discourse,
HERE
SYNAGOGUE PRAYER,
SKIRTS AWAY RAPIDLY
FROM THE ARTICULATION OF A POSSIBLE NEVER HAVING BEEN.
YOU SAY THAT GOD SENT US OUT INTO TIME WITHOUT A SAFETY NET. PERHAPS.
BUT THIS VERY PRAYER OF HUMAN (AND OF JEWISH, ISRAELITE) SELFABNEGATION
IS FOLLOWED WITH A HASTY ASSERTION:
"But we are Your people, members of Your covenant,"
A REASSURANCE OF SOME KIND OF COLLECTIVE ETERNITY.
Does G d continue speaking, then? It would be more than presumptuous to say yes or no.
WHAT WE MIGHT SAY, INSTEAD, IS THAT THIS NATION, THIS COLLECTIVE, THIS
anakhnu,
DOES NOT
"exist"
EXCEPT IN ITS
relation to You.
G D IS THAT PARTNER ~ BUT WAIT,
I AM NOT A THEOLOGIAN, NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF SAYING WHAT G D
"is"
(maybe G d also "is" only when I speak.)
RATHER, MAYBE OUR SURVIVAL WILL BE ENHANCED BY THINKING OF GOD AS THE PARTNER
WHO MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO CONTINUE TO BE
AS LONG AS WE ARE
LISTENERS.
