Misnomers in the Torah – Is God Truly Everywhere?

Today we are exploring a theological concept that is often misunderstood: the idea of where God exists. We have all heard the songs and the sayings claiming that God is everywhere, up, down, right, and left. But if we look closely at our tradition and the nature of the Divine, we realize this is a significant misnomer. Because God is not a physical being and does not take up mass, God cannot be confined to a location or a physical space. To exist does not necessarily mean to be somewhere in a physical sense. While we can perceive God’s wisdom and presence through the wonders of the universe, the Creator transcends the very rules of nature that govern our world. Join me as we delve into this fascinating topic and clarify our understanding of God’s relationship with the physical world. It is a concept that challenges us to think more deeply about the Infinite.
