Concerning the verse in the Scriptures: “I stood between the Lord and you,” Rabbi Mikhal of Zlotchov said: “The ‘I’ stands between God and us.  When a man says ‘I’ and encroaches upon the word of his Maker, he puts a wall between himself and God.  But he who offers his ‘I’– there is nothing between him and his Maker.  For it is to him that the words refer: ‘I am my beloved’s and his desire is toward me.’ When my ‘I’ has become my beloved’s, then it is toward me that his desire turns.”
