After the destruction of the Temple, there was no longer the possibility of the local God whose inscrutable worship could lead to death. The Judaism of the Diaspora, that is Judaism as we know it, is the Judaism of the space between God and Israel where speech proliferates and silence is filled with words. Pushing back to a Judaism of geography and sanctum moves us back to silence and human sacrifice.

Powerful and right-on. Thank you.
