Thanks for listening to the Torah of Life podcast.

Sorry for the post so quick to Shabbat (on the East coast anyway).

Here's a quick teaching about why life sometimes feels so hard. Why do we get all these tests anyway? Shouldn't life be easier?

Torah seems to be clear that when we find God, and surrender ourselves into God's will, the tests become obstacles for continued growth.

Perhaps the tests are the way forward to the next stage of our evolution. (Or perhaps not. What do you think?)

 

Shabbat Shalom,

Rabbi Ilan
