Quotes about Shechinah

Just as the Shechinah is in exile, so is the Torah in exile.
- Abraham Joshua Heschel
God's goodness is not a cosmic force but a specific act of compassion. We do not know it as it is but as it happens. To mention an example, "Rabbi Meir said: When a human being suffers what does the Shechinah say? My head is too heavy for Me; My arm is too heavy for Me. And if God is so grieved over the blood of the wicked that is shed, how much more so over the blood of the righteous.
- Abraham Joshua Heschel
