More from Rabbi Cardozo on the role of religion:

Religion’s main task is to disturb. It should ensure, on a very pragmatic level, that we do not take anything for granted in our day-to-day lives.  It is through challenges and complications that we are constantly surprised. These give birth to wonder, which then reminds us of God’s presence. It is not philosophical contemplation that brings man closer to God.  God is not an intellectual issue, but the ultimate reality of life. Only in deed, in the down-to-earth and heart-rending existence of daily life, which asks for sweat and blood, does one escape superficiality and enter awareness and attentiveness. (Jewish Law as Rebellion by Rabbi Dr. Nathan Lopes Cardozo, pg. 319)

Some people have trouble finding God. It turns out they are looking for God in words. As Jews we meet God in our deeds.  We can find God wherever we choose to let God in. It is up to us, to go and do it.
