Proteus, What you missed in my comment is that I was referring to your statement that "from numerous Wikipedia articles I gather that it is controversial within Judaism".  A lot of those discussions are drawn from the perspective of Midrash and Qabalah.  Here is a quote from the Encyclopedia Judaica's writeup on "Kabbalah" -
In the early 19th century the term "panentheism" was coined to distinguish such a view from pure pantheism. There is no doubt that the term could apply to a number of well-known kabbalists, who were able to argue – with some measure of justice – that a similar position is already implied in the statement in the Midrash (Gen. R. 68) that "The Holy One blessed be He is the place of the world but the world is not His place." The panentheist view offered a clear compromise between pure theism and pure pantheism and left room for a personalistic depiction of the Godhead.
I just did a search on "panentheism" on the online version of the Encyclopedia Judaica, and got 4 "hits", each of which has a discussion of it, and explains what I meant when I said "It appears to me that you've been "caught in the trap" of using D'rash & Sod (homiletic and mystical interpretations) as P'shat (plain/literal interpretation).".

Our raison d'être:

WHOSOEVER DESTROYS A SINGLE SOUL OF ISRAEL, SCRIPTURE IMPUTES [GUILT] TO HIM AS THOUGH HE HAD DESTROYED A COMPLETE WORLD; AND WHOSOEVER PRESERVES A SINGLE SOUL OF ISRAEL, SCRIPTURE ASCRIBES [MERIT] TO HIM AS THOUGH HE HAD PRESERVED A COMPLETE WORLD. (Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Sanhedrin, 37a)

The fruits of our effort:

The battle against spiritual terrorism is being won, one soul at a time!!!
