G-d in the Laundry Room
Load after load of whites and darks. Heavily soiled and lightly soiled. Delicate wear and regular cycle. Do You watch the constant motion and wonder at the necessity of the repetition?

The Double Face of the World
It is interesting to note that the Divine name consists of one true double (the letter Hei); also note the similarity of Yud and Vav -- a pictorial similarity that exists in English as well (Y/V)

"Love your fellow like yourself" is an interpretation of and commentary on "Love G‑d your G‑d." He who loves his fellow-Jew loves G‑d, because the Jew has with in himself a "part of G‑d Above." Therefore, when one loves the Jew - i.e. his inner essence - one loves G‑d.

Blind faith cannot grasp Truth, because it does not grasp anything at all.
Intellect cannot grasp Truth, because intellect is finite and Truth is infinite.
Only the eye of the soul, its inner wisdom, can grasp Truth and know it as she knows her own self.
For she is Truth.
