    Angels are forces and agents of God. In the words of one of the greatest Jewish thinkers of our generation, the angels are akin to a glove on a hand. Everyone understands that the glove is just an “extension” of the hand even though the hand cannot be seen. So, too, the angels that God uses are “extensions of God.”
