For thousands of years, Jews have relied on the Torah, The Written Law, and subsequently on the Talmud, the Oral Law, as a guide to the practice of Judaism. One generation has followed another seeking to understand this voluminous literature that Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin (18

cherubim have an entirely other, and other-worldly, purpose.
What exactly the cherubim were, or even what they looked like, has been the subject of speculation and imagination for centuries.
