I still didn't quite understand God's reasoning behind the third commandment of thou shalt not use my name in vain. But I suddenly had a pretty good idea of the reason behind the first. Thou shalt have no other gods besides me. It's one thing to be the only God. It's quite another, lesser thing to be one of two. I headed upstairs with Shlomo two steps behind me.
I wanted to push him down the stairs. I wanted to shove him out the window. As we walked toward the prayer hall, I remembered that Rabbi Breyer told us that Moses had killed an Egyptian by uttering the name of God. Shlomo pushed his way in front of me and hurried to the Shamos box. Adonai, I whispered. Nothing. Yahweh, I said. Nothing.
I couldn't bear to watch him violating my Shamos box, so I turned and headed back to class, Shlomo running behind me, trying to keep up, using my name in vain and calling, Shalom, Shalom, wait up! As I squeezed my eyes shut and whispered, one last time, Elohim. Nothing. Nothing.
