“I Bind You to Me Forever:
Wrapped in the Divine in Jewish Prayer”

In the Torah, Jews are taught to “bind these words for a sign upon your hand”. The prophet Hosea, speaking for the Divine, said, “I bind you to me in justice and righteousness, in mercy and loving kindness, in faithfulness; I bind you to me forever”. Jewish prayer practice embodies being enveloped in Divine presence.
