This collection of letters to the editor addresses fundamental theological questions within Conservative Judaism, focusing on two primary areas of scholarly discourse. The first letter by Vernon Kurtz examines the concept of *mitzvot* in Conservative/Masorti Judaism, proposing an alternative interpretation of the Hebrew term *l'tzareif* from Genesis Rabbah 44:1. While traditionally translated as "purifying," Kurtz argues for a dual meaning encompassing both purification and unification, suggesting that *mitzvot* serve not only to refine individual character but also to unite Jewish communities and humanity at large. This interpretation introduces both vertical (human-divine) and horizontal (interpersonal) dimensions to ritual observance. The second letter by Henry Glazer responds to Geoffrey Claussen's critique of Abraham Joshua Heschel's theological approach in *Torah Min Ha-shamayim*, defending Heschel's deliberate emphasis on divine compassion over omnipotence. Glazer argues that Heschel's alignment with Rabbi Akiva's mystical, heart-centered theology over Rabbi Yishmael's transcendent approach reflects a conscious choice to prioritize divine mercy and immanence. A third letter by Jack J. Cohen offers critical observations on Process Theology, questioning its conceptualization of divine-human partnership and the selective nature of divine love within this theological framework.
