God Does Not Exist, so Let’s Serve Him!
In this week's parashah God announces himself to Moshe: “I appeared to Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaacov as El Shadai, not through my Ineffable Name….” “El Shadai” means: The God of Enough. That name was good enough for Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaacov, who did not experience God in all of His contradictions. But now with the beginning of the Exodus, something has changed. For God to be meaningful to us, He must appear in the world in ways through which we can identify with Him. But God in His essence is something totally different about which we mortals have no clue.
