Tisha B’Av 2017: The Sound of Divine Silence: Suffering and the Search for Meaning
From the perspective of Jewish philosophy, the correct question is not so much “why do bad things happen to good people,” but how can a supposedly all loving and all-powerful God allow for the presence of evil and suffering in the world? In this podcast, recorded live on Tisha B'Av, Dr. Elliott Malamet explores how Jewish thinkers, ancient and modern, have approached this problem and he will analyze their “explanations”, with special emphasis on post-Holocaust theology.
