The paradox of hidden G_d Thank you for the teaching of Megillah that G_d can be hidden, which in itself can be concealed. In theology we often hear of the transcendence of G_d, but rarely that G_d hides himself deliberately. The beauty and wisdom of this teaching in particular is the added mystery that the concealment of G_d is itself concealed - a paradox within a paradox, like a Celtic knot.
