Would anyone here know where I can find the Raavad that RSRH refers to<br>
here? <a href="https://tinyurl.com/ycb2fuxdAs" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tinyurl.com/ycb2fuxdAs</a> I understand Hirsch's explanation<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The next sentence has run in to the link here making it invalid.

or the Raavad, we have more to lose by making God too abstract than by<br>
perceiving Him too material. and that's why the Torah takes the risk<br>
and talks about Hashem seeing and Hashem's heart, etc.<br>
<br>
1) I assume that's because without this, we won't have any means for<br>
a relationship.<br>
<br>
2) Hirsch writes that in that particular series of pesukim (about Hashem's<br>
decision to bring about the mabul) we are taught about man's free will as<br>
well as Hashem unchanging free will, and how the two work with each other.<br>
<br>
1 is my assumption. 2 is what Hirsch writes.<br>
<br>

A friend of mine, Rabbi Moshe Katz of CTN, just found it for me.<br>
