פּירוש אויף ישעיהו 43:22

“You did not call upon Me, O Jacob” [43:22]. The Holy One said: Israel, you worship foreign gods and you do not call on Me. Jacob, you soon tire of serving Me. The Talmud writes in [tractate] Yoma concerning this verse. Rabbi Eliezer the son of Hisma said: whoever recites God, King and similar important prayers and winks with his eyes or twists his mouth or indicates with his finger to do something, because he does not want to speak, and he indicates with his eyes or his hand to do it, the Holy One says: you do not call Me. That is to say, your prayer is for nothing because you wink or indicate with your hands during the prayer.²B. Yoma, 19b; Yalkut Shimoni, Isaiah, Remez, 456. From here we should learn and be warned that one should, at the very least, not speak during prayer, not even in Hebrew.

Lamentations Rabbah writes. The Holy One said: the Israelites who worship foreign gods should at least also worship Me along with the foreign gods, but they have forgotten Me and do not call on Me. The Holy One said: should they consider me a secondary food that one serves only at the end of the meal? It is a parable. A minister of the king makes a big meal and invites all the ministers to the meal and he leaves out the king and does not invite him to the meal. The king says: he should at least consider me as important as the other ministers and invited me to the meal. The Holy One said the same.³Lamentations Rabbah, Petikhtah 10; Yalkut Shimoni, Isaiah, Remez, 457.

But you did not call Me But you did not call Me in your turning after idolatry.

for you wearied of Me You quickly wearied of My worship.
