Let My People Know

Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz: “Those who fear God have no house.”

One who follows God, by his very nature, cannot be found in his land, in his birthplace, or in his father’s house.

Psalms 135 states: “O house of Israel, bless the Lord; O house of Aaron, bless the Lord; O house of Levi, bless the Lord; you who fear the Lord, bless the Lord” (19-20).

There is a “house of Israel,” a “house of Aaron,” and a “house of Levi,” but there is no “house of you who fear the Lord.”

Ultimately, those who fear God have no house.

They follow God.
