Surfing the web I came across this:
A nice counter to the Orthodox argument that a Messianic portrayal of G-d as human is idolatry.
We are taught, because of the Commandment against graven images, that Judaism is opposed to the human form. That is not so, for God in Hebrew is most humanly formed. He has, for instance, a face, Genesis 32.30; a mouth, Isaiah 1.20; hands, Psalm 119.73; even a backside, Exodus 33.23. He is intensely human in form, and in that form he has shaped us. Nor is he only male. He is also the tender mother stilling her anxious child, Isaiah 49.15, 66.13. And he is as well a vast bird form with great protecting wings, Psalm 91.4, not yet the mother hen of Christ's image, Luke 13.34, but instead the swooping, soaring, gyring eagle, of Deuteronomy 32.11-12. Jesus' dying words, from Psalm 31.5, the prayer Jewish Mothers teach their Jewish sons first to say, are addressed to God, speaking of his form as human, 'Into thy hands I commend my breath, my life, my spirit'.
