| Pesikta de-Rav Kahana: God seeks out the Jewish People |
|
|
| Written by Michael Linetsky |
"I am come [back] into My Gardens, My sister, My bride (Song 5:1). . . The Torah teaches one good manners, as that a groom is not allowd to enter the bridal bower until his bride gives him leave (Pesikta de-Rav Kahana 1:1)."
In the Scriptures God urges the Jewish People to return to Him, but in fact it is God who actively desires to join the community of His People.
God cannot join the community of the Jewish People without their consent; perhaps consent is the reciprocation which He seeks in the Scriptures.
