- Title
MEANINGS OF SHEKHINAH IN THE "JEWISH RENEWAL" MOVEMENT.
- Authors
Weissler, Chava
- Abstract
The article presents information on "Aleph: The Alliance for Jewish Renewal," and explores the use of God language in Renewal. Renewal Jews insist that God cannot be comprehended in human language and must be addressed in multiple images. However, one of the most revolutionary moves they make is their reshaping of the mythological figure of the Shekhinah, the feminine divine of Kabbalah. Jewish Renewal's understanding of Shekhinah will be compared to the figure of Shekhinah in classical Kabbalah and to other forms of God language in Renewal.
