Lox et Veritas

Michael Leo Pomeranz hails from Chicago, Illinois. He is absolutely sure he is going to major in Religious Studies, which is the third major of which he is absolutely sure this week. His weblog, Lox et Veritas, is a pun on the Yale motto, Lux et Veritas, which means Light and Truth. Michael is in his junior year at Yale University, where he tries (and fails) to keep the Latin puns to a minimum. Close.

Lox et Veritas

Forgetting Theology

“You, Lord, are truth.” Draped in a prayer shawl with four fringed corners, decked in full suit and tie, swaying back and forth per Jewish custom, I read those words aloud from the prayer book one week ago on the second day of Rosh Hashanah. They triggered a crisis of theology. What does it mean for God to be Truth?

Saint Augustine wept when he was elected Bishop of Hippo. He wanted to be a monk, so he could contemplate philosophy and God. Instead he had to administer a complex and difficult church. The religion of philosophy and the religion of going to services with your family differ.

So praying at college, especially during the High Holy Days, requires a little of multiple personalities – setting aside one personality, always questioning, always wondering, and accepting another. The liturgy helps with this: God is our Father, who will always take us back. Holidays, and especially Yom Kippur, allow me to re-examine my own life, my interaction with others, and not to worry about the nature of God, at least for another day.
