The predominant rabbinic holding is that Aggadah is meant to impart moral or theological truths through the form of allegory in order to be accessible, and it does not have to be taken literally.

Shekhinah ( or ) is the romanization of a Hebrew word meaning "dwelling" or "settling". Shekhinah denotes the manifest divine presence of God and is an extensively discussed concept in the Talmud, philosophy, the Midrash, Hasidic thought, and Kabbalah in Judaism. Unlike other Hebrew terms for divinity that emphasize transcendence or sovereignty of God, Shekhinah uniquely conveys the immanent, relational aspect of the Divine as experienced within the world—particularly in communal, liturgical, or revelatory contexts, such as its accompaniment of the Israelites during the Babylonian captivity an

''''''' (; also transliterated as ' or ''; literally "association") is a term used in Jewish sources for the worship of God in a manner which Judaism does not deem to be purely monotheistic. The term connotes a theology that is not outright polytheistic, but also should not be seen as purely monotheistic. The term is primarily used in reference to the Christian Trinity by Jewish legal authorities who wish to distinguish Christianity from full-blown polytheism. Though a Jew would be forbidden from maintaining a shituf theology, non-Jews would, in some form, be permitted such a theology without
