Dear Rabbi, I listen to you frequently and very much appreciate your teachings. But it's breaking my heart to hear the answers to your question, and your response as well, to who Hashem is. You started out sharing a small piece of Rabbi Kelleman's teaching regarding why we whisper the ameida. It seems like you missed his point. We whisper because the Creator, the King, the Judge allows us to have a personal relationship with Him, which is the one descriptive name of Hashem that was never said by anyone in your class, our Father in Heaven. We get to have pillow talk with our Father in Heaven because He wants to have it with us. To be one with us, to dwell with us, with our flaws and faults and issues. The clarity you spoke of is realized when we become more one with Him by approaching Him as a close and intimate part of our life.
