At the Mountain: An Anthology of Jewish Reflections on God, Commandedness, and Spirituality

By Menachem Creditor

There are moments in our tradition that do not fade.

Sinai is not history. It is encounter. It is trembling. It is breath held in the lungs of a people who still haven't exhaled.

To stand at the mountain is to live in the tension between revelation and resistance, awe and ambiguity, silence and speech. It is to ask: What do I believe? What is being asked of me? Where is the Divine in all this?

This anthology is not a set of answers. It is a gathering of seekers-rabbis and poets, activists and artists, scholars and wanderers-who dared to return to the Mountain, each bringing their own language, doubts, devotions, and fire.

We asked them: What is God to you? Do you feel commanded? What makes a life spiritual?

Their responses are unfiltered, vulnerable, contradictory, and holy.

In the pages that follow, you will not find consensus. You will find covenant. You will not find certainty. You will find sincerity. You will not find a single voice booming from the cloud. You will find the chorus of many, all of us still standing there, waiting for the echo of revelation in our own lives.

This is not the end of the conversation. It is its continuation. This is the sound of Sinai-crackling and alive.

Welcome back to the Mountain.
