From the Chassidic Masters

The Talmud relates the following conversation between "a heretic" and the sage Rabbi Avahu: "Your G-d is a Kohen," said the heretic. "So in what did He immerse Himself after He buried Moses?" Replied Rabbi Avahu: "He immersed in fire." An examination of the meaning of this exchange leads us to a discussion of G-d's double identity, the spiritual DNA of the universe, and the art of metaphor
