Godhead in Judaism

Godhead in Judaism refers to the aspect or substratum of God that lies behind God's actions or properties (it is the essence of God), and its nature has been the subject of long debate in every major religion.
The closest corresponding term in the classical and modern languages of Jewish scholarship is elohut (Hebrew: "deity), (essential nature of a god) or divinity. Max Kadushin notes that "The plural Elohim, gods, must not be confused with Elihut, Godhead. The latter is used with reference to God."
