Martin Buber’s once narrated an experience as follows: “Rabbi Barukh’s grandson, Yehiel, was once playing hide-and-seek with another boy. He hid himself well and waited for his playmate to find him. When he had waited for a long time, he came out of his hiding place, but the other was nowhere to be seen. Now Yehiel realised that his friend had not looked for him from the very beginning. This made him cry, and crying, he ran to his grandfather and complained of his faithless friend. The tears brimmed in Rabbi Barukh’s eyes, and he said: “God says the same thing: ‘I hide, but no one wants to seek me.’”
