“Sometimes it’s good that there isn’t any key at all, that there’s no hint of salvation”

Flashback — Parshah: The Scream of Prayer, Issue 254
“S

ometimes, to our horror, we discover that the locked door is a wall. Sometimes it’s good that there isn’t any key at all, that there’s no hint of salvation. Because then there’s only Hashem.
