Summary:

"Does God have a face? What is the relationship between the face of man and the face of God? Can this world exist without God? What is the role of man in the world? How can words connect man to God? What will a person do who feels that he is far from God? These are some of the questions that this book deals with while focusing on the status of language in Kabbalah and the beginning of Hasidism"-- Back cover (translation).

"האם לאלוהים יש פנים? מה הקשר בין הפנים של האדם לפנים של אלוהים? האם העולם הזה יכול להתקיים ללא אלוהים? מה תפקידו של האדם בעולם? כיצד מילים יכולות לחבר את האדם לאלוהים? מה יעשה אדם החש שהוא רחוק מאלוהים? אלו מקצת השאלות שספר זה עוסק בהן תוך התמקדות במעמד השפה בקבלה ובראשית החסידות"--Back cover.
