The initiative is human. The language is human.</i> It is also something that struck me when I read it in Sarna's book and which I had never realized before. Thanks for the link to the website with songs. In the Law and the Prophets, God reaches out to man…In the Psalms, human beings reach out to God. The initiative is human. The language is human.
