Judaism's Infinity Is Like That Of A Point
a: Judaism's infinity ~
b: that of a point
What: "Because Christianity is not passed on from parent to child, "Christianity must be missionary." While both communities are eternal, Rosenzweig distinguishes between Judaism as "eternal life" and Christianity as "eternal way." Judaism's infinity is like that of a point, and the Jewish people's self-preservation alone ensures that its existence will not be wiped away. By contrast, Christianity's infinity is akin to a line whose existence consists in the possibility of unlimited extension."

a: Crystal structure ~
b: three-dimensional wallpaper design
What: "A crystal structure is like a three-dimensional wallpaper design in that it is an endless repetition of some motif (i.e., a group of atoms or molecules). The process of creating the motif involves point-group operations (rotation, reflection, and inversion) that define it. The process of creating the wallpaper involves translation (with or without rotation or reflection)to create the complete structure (which we call the lattice)."
