		Ramban, in the mystical track (derekh) of his commentary, suggests that there is a parallel with Psalms 139: 5, "You hedge me before and behind" to show that there are, as it were, two faces to Hashem, facing both east and west, and Moshe will only see one of them.
		Hashem explains that because of His great anger with them, it would be too dangerous for Him to remain in their midst, thus it will be His angel who will lead them to the land of milk and honey (33:2,3).
		Due to Hashem' s anger at the incident of the molten calf, the situation has become so dangerous that all symbols of the Shekhina must be removed out of the Israelite camp.

	Derekh Hashem - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Derekh Hashem (The "Way of God"), written in the 1730s, is a philosophical classic text systematizing the basic principles of Jewish belief regarding the existence of God, God's purpose in Creation, and the logical consequence of other concepts in Judaism, by Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto, the author of the well-known Mesillat Yesharim.
		Presented from an underlying Kabbalistic framework, yet presupposing no prior knowledge and without the use of Kabbalistic terminology, this work provides a foundation for understanding the worldview and ideas found in the Zohar, the writings of Isaac Luria (the Arizal) and other Kabbalistic and Hassidic works.

		In Derekh Hashem he writes that the ultimate reward is G-d Himself, and therefore man's goal is one of deveikus.
		Thus, Hashem created two worlds, this one in which we perfect ourselves, temimus, and the world to come in which we experience deveikus.
		However, the Ramchal's definition of temimus is entirely shaped by the fact that the point of that temimus is to be a being capable of as much deveikus as possible.

		Hashem is only looking for a change of heart, not a change of religion or a change of allegiance from the Sinai Covenant and its mitzvot.
		Now the Dvar Hashem (Word of G-d) is worshiped, according to Tehillim 56:11 (10), which would be idolatry if the Dvar Hashem did not partake of Hashem's quality of "G-dness," which can also be said of the Moshiach, who, unlike the idols in Daniel 3:18, is worshiped by all peoples in Daniel 7:14 (cf.
		And the Dvar hashem came on the scene of the Olam Hazeh as a man! So Hashem is Echad, but in his unity there are distinct havayot (subsistences, modes of being) so that Elohim Avinu distinquished from Moshiach and is not Moshiach, and Moshiach is not the Ruach Hakodesh.

	Different Ways Of Serving Hashem - Hashkafah.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		One of the reasons Hashem gave Bechirah is for people to find their unique path.
		Hashem gave us free will not just to choose good over bad, but to choose a direction in life, to constantly evaluate our strengths and where our purpose is. Part of the challenge of life is choosing the right derech.
		So I would say that while the goal is not to stand apart (the goal is to serve HaShem), one's own approach should reflect the distinctiveness of his individual inclinations, not to blend in with others.

		Couched in rabbinic language very distinct from his other writing, it may have been written as a means of winning legitimacy among the local Jewish community.
		Another prominent work, Derekh Hashem (The Way of God) is a philosophical text about God's purpose in Creation, justice, and ethics.
		This is considered to be one of the highest praises that one sage can grant another.

		Chazal tell us that teshuvah is a gift from Hashem Yisborach, that Divine Justice alone would not allow a man to be freed from accountability for one of his actions.
		The Derekh Hashem states (1:4:5) "sin detracts from one's perfection".
		Now we can understand that Hashem is not pinning blame, but rather the damage caused by the wrongful act is correcting itself.

		The edicts of Torah are directives beyond the logic of the mind… those who follow their minds reject the edicts of HaShem considering themselves smarter and wiser than the author of Light and Source of Life…
		The true children of Light, under attack as they are from the children of darkness, cry out to HaShem and ask, “show me, teach me, guide me, let my heart not be led astray, let my mind be clear and calm to accept that which is Above and beyond it.”
		HaShem hears this cry of the heart and grants Light and Life to those who embrace His Torah… for to embrace Torah is to embrace HaShem, for the two are One…

		Plato who many have seen as a mystic who affirms that truth is reached in silent contemplation of the attributes of HaShem, would view such a center as the propagators of what in Greek is called doxa, or false opinions and beliefs.
		However the Essenes embraced dualism and in the War scroll the war between the sons of darkness (Rome) and the Essenes (sons of light) is outlined.

		The G'MATRIYA of the names of the fingers totals 1118, which is the G'matriya of Sh'ma Yisra'el HaShem Elokeinu HaShem Echad.
		The gemara (Berakhot 9b) suggests several criteria for deciding when the time of Kriat Shema begins; the one that is finally adopted, and which is mentioned in the Shulchan Arukh (OC 58:1) is “when he can see and recognize his friend from four paces.”
		Figuratively, this seems to suggest that if a person is so benighted that he is not sensitive to his fellow man - even to his friend who is right next to him - he is not yet at the stage where he is ready to accept the yoke of HaShem’s kingdom.

	WorldNetDaily: Radical Islam and the role of women (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Women were built/created for this purpose, to be on a higher spiritual plane in order to assist.
		Hence, women are not required to perform as many of the commandments as compared with men, and their role as a partner to a husband is to aid or assist him (spiritually) if he wanders from the Derekh HaShem (i.e., the Path of God).
		Now, if this third person pronoun is translated as he, referring back to the man, then this is the only place in the Hebrew Bible claiming that one human being "type" will rule over another.

		Rather, it must mean that HaShem allowed us to view something that was representative of his Essence-- that He CREATED for men.

		If, de facto, Jewish law is no longer dat israel or dat yehudit, the will of the individuals concerned counts, before any meaningful guidance can be given.
		Since Jewish law is meant not just as a system of `avodat hashem (worship), but as a derekh hashem (way of - or to - God) and a means letsaref haberi'ot (to test or refine the people), this general direction and function must be examined, before a particular rule can be confirmed or created.
		Likewise, the central concepts of heweh domeh lo (imitatio dei) and of qedushah (saintliness) call for transcendence beyond mere legal legitimacy and must have an impact upon interpretation in general.

		Many of the values and ideals of the gentile world have already become firmly entrenched in much of Jewish culture and these have, in turn, affected the very essence of the Jewish mode of life.
		It has caused thousands upon thousands of Jews to run contrary to the "Derekh Hashem." The only way to combat this influence is through selective confrontation.
		We must redefine, re-evaluate, judge and search honestly for a Judaism that is untainted by foreign values that have no worth.

		I did not mean that the Netziv was a "closet-masqil" who used his gemara shiur as an ideological false front for his clandestine studies.
		I was referring to a phenomenon where, as the haskalah took more and more students "off the derekh," the tendency was to focus on learning safer subjects like gemara/halakha more and more exclusively.
		The answer could be that the Torah is telling us that the same rules that apply to qedushah in space also apply to qedushah in time.
