A Controversy

By Richard Mather



In the day before God brought this world into being

the heavenly hosts were reclining

in the tent of the sun.


“It is for the sake of his goodness that God must create the world,” said Love.

“And all shall dwell in a garden of paradise.”


“Not so. God must create the world for the sake of his grace,” said Spirit.

“And all the earth shall shine like Heaven.”


“Neither,” spoke Torah. “He will create the world

for the sake of his will

and contract his presence

into it.


“For is not said that ‘I will meet with you

and speak with you from above the ark-cover,

from between the two k’ruvim

which are on the ark for the testimony’?”


God groaned and nodded at Torah. ‘Tzimtzum it is. Tzimtzum it will be.’
