"Professor Finkelstein, of blessed memory, who served as JTS Chancellor from 1951 until 1972, is regularly quoted as having said, "When I pray, I speak to God; and when I study, God speaks to me." - "Meeting God Face to Face : In Defense of Conservative Judaism" Originally published in JTS Magazine, volume 8, number 3 (Spring 1999) by Joel Roth, republished online at http://www.jtsa.edu/about/communications/pubs/bestof/mgf.shtml Hope that helps!
