"Some say, She [Hannah] said to him: You are no lord, [meaning] the Shechinah and the holy spirit is not with you in that you take the harsher and not the more lenient view of my conduct."
Although this was only a sidenote in today's discussion, it popped out to me. The Shekhina is attracted to those who take the more lenient view, to those who reserve judgement, who give others the benefit of the doubt. Nothing could be a stronger affirmation of legal leniency than saying that leniency is what causes God's immanent presence to dwell with you.
