Divine authority and individual autonomy need not conflict in modern Jewish theology when their relationship is reimagined through the lens of love rather than fear. By analyzing traditional Jewish sources alongside contemporary theological discourse, a new model emerges that frames the Jewish-God relationship as analogous to marriage—a dynamic, evolving partnership where both parties actively shape their connection. This approach distinguishes between external authority (coercive force) and internal authority (voluntary compliance), arguing that meaningful religious commitment today must stem from love (*ahavat ha-Shem*) rather than fear (*yirat shamayim*). Drawing on the Song of Songs and prophetic literature, this framework reconceptualizes *mitzvot* not as unilateral divine commands but as expressions of mutual needs within the loving relationship between God and the Jewish people. Such understanding explains how *halakhah* can remain both binding and dynamic, adapting to contemporary needs while maintaining continuity with tradition. The resulting theological model provides legitimacy for diverse Jewish movements while preserving Conservative Judaism's distinctive balance of autonomous responsibility and *a priori* commitment to the relationship. This approach offers a uniquely Conservative understanding of Jewish law as simultaneously divine and human, authoritative yet responsive to historical development.
