Galuth

"Galuth" is, perhaps, the most powerful and contemporary Jewish conception. We are taught that it was not only the Jews who were exiled with the destruction of their Temple -- G-d, Himself, was as well. Where some see a world in which "God is dead," the Jewish tradition teaches that He is merely in exile. And not because we, today, do not believe in Him faithfully enough. Rather, because, we have not been good enough to each other.
