A colleague at work once playfully teased me that any time she asked how I was, I answered, "Thank God." This became a running joke in our relationship, because it reveals the extent to which Jews often exclude God in their daily discourse. For some, using God’s name is too parochial, for others, it is alienating. Is there a way to reclaim theological language for ourselves, especially as it relates to each of our inner callings, to make us individually and collectively more spiritually empowered? We will examine some classical Jewish texts, and that which is in each of us. Come with not only a discerning mind, but an open heart!
