On May 16 this year (2021) I gave the talk below at the Manhattan JCC. The context was the holiday of Shavuot, that takes place fifty days after Passover (Shavuot later incarnated as the Christian holiday Pentacost). In the talk, a mystical perspective on the question paused in the prayer, “where is the place of His glory?”, is being offered.

The following post is based on a presentation that I made at a minyan, a prayer group, on Nov. 8 this year, the week of the weekly Torah portion of Lech Lecha.
