As water’s face reflects the face, so does one human heart reflect another. - Proverbs 27:17-19 ‫ אחד מחדד את‬,‫מה ברזל זה‬ ‫ אף שני תלמידי חכמים‬- ‫חבירו‬ ...‫מחדדין זה את זה בהלכה‬ Just as the case of iron, when one implement sharpens another, so too do two Torah scholars sharpen each other when they debate questions of law together. - Babylonian Talmud, Ta’anit 7 ‫ איש‬,‫ ופניהם‬,‫הכפורת‬-‫ סוככים בכנפיהם על‬,‫והיו הכרובים פורשי כנפיים למעלה‬ ,‫הארון‬-‫הכפורת על‬-‫ כא ונתת את‬.‫ פני הכרובים‬,‫יהיו‬--‫הכפורת‬-‫אחיו; אל‬-‫אל‬ ,‫ שם‬,‫ כב ונועדתי לך‬.‫ אשר אתן אליך‬,‫העדות‬-‫תיתן את‬--‫הארון‬-‫מלמעלה; ואל‬ ‫את‬--‫ארון העדות‬-‫ אשר על‬,‫ודיברתי איתך מעל הכפורת מבין שני הכרובים‬ ‫אשר אצווה‬-‫כל‬ .‫בני ישראל‬-‫ אל‬,‫אותך‬ And the Cherubim shall stretch out their wings on high, covering the cover with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the cover shall the faces of the Cherubim be. And you shall put the cover upon the ark; and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I shall give you. And there I will meet with you, and I will talk with you from above the cover, from between the two Cherubim which are upon the ark of the Testimony, of all things which I will give you in commandment to the people of Israel. - Exodus 25 20-22 :‫ וחד אמר‬,‫ פניהם איש אל אחיו‬:‫ חד אמר‬,‫כיצד הן עומדין? רבי יוחנן ור‘ אלעזר‬ (’‫ )דברי הימים ב‘ ג‬:‫ הא כתיב‬,‫ ולמ”ד פניהם איש אל אחיו‬.‫פניהם לבית‬ ‫ כאן בזמן שאין‬,‫ כאן בזמן שישראל עושין רצונו של מקום‬:‫ופניהם לבי ִת לא קשיא‬ ‫ (שמות כ”ה‬:‫ הא כתיב‬,‫ ולמ”ד ופניהם לבית‬.‫ישראל עושין רצונו של מקום‬ ‫ כרובים( דברי‬:‫ אונקלוס הגר אמר‬,‫אצדודי דתניא‬ ֹ ‫)ופניהם איש אל אחי ִו דמצדדי‬ .‫ ומצודדים פניהם כתלמיד הנפטר מרבו‬,‫הימים ב‘ ג’) מעשה צעצועים הן‬ How did they stand? Rabbi Johanan and Rabbi Eleazar are in dispute on the matter. One Says: ey faced each other; and the other says: eir faces were inward. But according to him who says that they faced each other, it may be asked: Is it not written, And their faces were inward? - Chron.II 3:13 is is no diﬃculty: e former was at a time when Israel obeyed the will of the Omnipresent; the latter was at a time when Israel did not obey the will of the Omnipresent. According to him who says that their faces were inward it may be asked: Is it not written, With their faces one to another? - Exodus 25:20 ey were slightly turned sideways. For it was taught: Onkelos the proselyte said, e Cherubim were of image work and their faces were turned sideways as a student who takes leave of his master. - Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Baba Bathra 99 In the access to the face there is certainly also an access to the idea of God.... To my mind the Infinite comes in the significance of the face. e face signifies the Infinite.... When in the presence of the Other, I say, “Here I am!”, this “Here I am!” is the place through which the Infinite enters into language... e subject who says “Here I am!” testifies to the Infinite. e face speaks. It speaks, it is in this that it renders possible and begins all discourse.... e first word of the face is the “ou shalt not kill.” It is an order. ere is a commandment in the appearance of the face, as if a master spoke to me.- Emanuel Levinas God rests in the embrace of two bodies. ere, too, the Shekina reveals Herself. And lest we think that holiness can reside only in the union of a man and a woman, we should note that although some midrashim imagine one cherub as male and one as female, most Midrashim do not...e embrace of the cherubim is less about gender that it is about intimacy and love. At the core of holiness is the wisdom of love. - Rabbi Jill Hammer ‫ לא‬.‫בחורב‬--‫ כרת עימנו ברית‬,‫יהוה אלוהינו‬ ‫ כי‬:‫הברית הזאת‬-‫ כרת יהוה את‬,‫אבותינו‬-‫את‬ ‫ ד פנים‬.‫ אנחנו אלה פה היום כולנו חיים‬,‫איתנו‬ .‫מתוך האש‬--‫ דיבר יהוה עימכם בהר‬,‫בפנים‬ Our God made a covenant with us at Horeb. God did not make this covenant with our ancestors, but with us, who are all of us here alive this day. God spoke with you face to face on the mount out of the midst of the fire. - Deuteronomy 5:2-5 How is it possible to have a covenant without an Other? If God is not distinct from self and community why use a theological language of partnership at all? Otherness is the mother of human language: because of the other, we are moved to speak. Others teach us and are taught by us. Others work and build the world with us. Others heal our loneliness. Others befriend us. Female or male, straight or gay, we seek the body of the the other to cohabit, to be interpenetrated. Because God is Other, God created a world filled with diﬀerence. Because God is Partner all diﬀerence is filled with holy possibility. Only if there is an Other can there be mirroring and reciprocity. - Rachel Adler ;‫לך אמר ליבי בקשו פניי‬ ‫את פניך יהוה אבקש‬ My heart says to You, “Seek my face”; Your face, Divine, I will seek.
