Jewish art has always been with us, but so has a broader canvas of
Jewish imaginings: in thought, in emotion, in text, and in ritual
practice. Imagining the Jewish God was there in the beginning, as
it were, engraved and embedded in the ways Jews lived and responded
to their God. This book attempts to give voice to these diverse
imaginings of the Jewish God, and offers these collected essays and
poems as a living text meant to provoke a substantive and
nourishing dialogue. A responsive, living covenant lies at the
heart of this book-a covenantal reciprocity that actively engages
the dynamics of Jewish thinking and acting in dialogue with God.
The contributors to this volume are committed to this form of
textual reasoning, even as they all move us beyond the "text" as
foundational for the imagined "people of the book." That people, we
submit, lives and breathes in and beyond the texts of poetry,
narrative, sacred literature, film, and graphic mediums. We imagine
the Jewish people, and the covenant they respond to, as provocative
intimations of the divine. The essays in this volume seek to draw
these vocal intimations out so that we can all hear their resonant
call.
