Question
The unknown Deuteronomist originated a transition away from an anthropomorphic view of this concept towards the abstract Name Theology. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this concept whose “dwelling” is denoted in early rabbinic literature as shekhinah. Jewish prayers often feature similar phrases either being “under” or “on” the wings of this concept.
ANSWER: divine presence [or presence of God; prompt on divine feminine; prompt on God, the Lord, Yahweh, YHWH, or equivalents]
[10m] A prayer common during these events, “El Malei Rachamim,” unusually uses the “on the wings of the divine presence” version. The avelut period begins after these ceremonies, when Jews “sit shiva.”
ANSWER: funerals [or burials; reject “death”]
[10e] Rashi’s commentary on Genesis 12:5 informed beliefs that those who had done this process could come “under” but never “on” the wings of the divine presence. Traditionally, males doing this process received circumcision and immersed themselves in a mikveh.
ANSWER: conversion to Judaism [accept word forms like convert or converting]
