" [The message of listening to and wrestling with God] is conveyed in a series of passages whose meaning does not lie on the surface of the text, but discloses itself only to those who listen to what is going on beneath the words: the unspoken cry, the implicit appeal, the unheard tears, the unarticulated pain. Those who wish to learn to listen to God must learn to listen to other people – to the kol demama daka, “the still, small voice” of those who need our love. "
― Jonathan Sacks , Genesis: The Book of Beginnings (Covenant & Conversation: A Weekly Reading of the Jewish Bible)
