Leviticus 10:16
וְאֵ֣ת׀ שְׂעִ֣יר הַֽחַטָּ֗את דָּרֹ֥שׁ דָּרַ֛שׁ מֹשֶׁ֖ה וְהִנֵּ֣ה שֹׂרָ֑ף וַיִּקְצֹף עַל־אֶלְעָזָ֤ר וְעַל־אִֽיתָמָר֙ בְּנֵ֣י אַהֲרֹ֔ן הַנּוֹתָרִ֖ם לֵאמֹֽר ׃
"And Moses thoroughly investigated
concerning the sin offering he-goat, and behold, it had been burnt! So he was
angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's surviving sons, saying:"
Drosh drash - Thoughly investigated. The is the
Midpoint of the Torah, and has been said that this is what the Torah
rotates on, this is Its balancing point, its gravitational centre.
If we cannot thoroughly investigate every aspect
of everything we will loose our balance.
This is where I loose mine.
I can conceive of a God that exists outside
of Space-Time and yet can intercede with in. Sure why not. I don't have
any evidence for this other than my conception and the writings of Jewish law
codifiers, philosophers and theologians.
Most importantly the RaMBaM or Rabbeinu Mosheh Ben Maimon "Our
Rabbi/Teacher Moses Son of Maimon" will help me through this imbalance as
I attempt to understand his Guide for the
Perplexed which is the main source of the Rambam's
philosophical views.
In the following posts I will expound on my
explorations and attempts to come to grips with my faith in a god not well
defined in most Jewish texts or in the thoughts of many of my
co-regionists.
