âWhen Moses, at the burning bush, says to God, âWho are you?â God says to him three words: âHayah asher hayah.â And those words are mistranslated in English as âI am that which I am.â But in Hebrew, it means âI will be who or how or where I will be,â meaning, donât think you can predict me. I am a God who is going to surprise you. And one of the ways God surprises us is by letting a Jew or a Christian discover the trace of Godâs presence in a Buddhist monk or a Sikh tradition of hospitality or the graciousness of Hindu life. You know, donât think we can confine God into our categories. God is bigger than religion.â
â Rabbi Jonathan Sacks in âThe Dignity of Difference.â
