... and still affirm that the human being is whole and unified?
If man acts as a unit and is only capable of doing so as a whole, how can God be part of us? How can he descend and form a unity in us and within us? What are we then without this essence? Our new chair of Jewish Philosophy and Intellectual History, Prof. Dr. Michael Engel, dealt with these tricky questions and their various answers. He mainly consulted Maimonides, Elijah del Medigo and Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi. To eclectically choose the best answer and delve into the subject also further, it's worth watching the video :)
