A central tenet of Jewish theology is that the same Creator who created the Heavens and the Earth also supervises His creation on an ongoing basis. Moreover, that supervision, that oversight is personal and down to the most minute detail. As such, it would seem that everything that happens to us is the product of a divine decision. But what about the free will of others? What about the rigid rules of nature? Do these also play a role in determining what happens to a person? If yes, does that not detract from the notion of complete Godly oversight? In this podcast, we attempt to disentangle this knotty paradox into a neat, cogent principle outlining the parameters of divine providence.
