When Structures Are Crumbling, What’s the Message?

Can We Question G-d?

40 min

Class Summary:

Rabbi YY Jacobson addressing a live Instagram chat on 19 Tammuz, 5781, June 29, 2021. Hosted by Sarah Guigue ("Hasidic Hipster Girl" @hasidic.hipster.girl), joined by Joseph Dahan, (co-founder and director Hatzalah of South Florida @hatzalahsouthflorida), Steve Eisenberg (speaker & educator, local resident of Bal Harbour/Surfside). Arranged by Zalman Herz.

This conversation explored the recent tragedy in Surfside, Florida, the collapse of the Champlain Towers on Thursday, June 24, 2021, and the theological issues connected with the tragedy. Are we allowed to ask questions on G-d? What is the Jewish approach? What are the lessons we can all learn when so many structures are crumbling in our lives?
