Abraham Heschel
(great Jewish theologian)
To the prophet, God does not

reveal Himself in an abstract
absoluteness, but in a personal

He does not simply command

and expect obedience;
He is also moved and affected
by what happens in the world,
and reacts accordingly.
125a
Events and human actions arouse

in Him joy or sorrow, pleasure or
wrath
mans deeps may move Him, affect

Him, grieve Him or, on the other
hand, gladden and please Him
