EMOR - FAITH AMIDST TRAGEDY Deeper Look At The Parsha

Rabbi Dunner reflects on the tragic loss of five IDF soldiers from his son Meir's unit in Gaza in a 'friendly fire' incident. This prompts a deep exploration of the theological problem of unbearable human suffering. Rabbi Dunner contrasts two perspectives - the Rambam’s rational approach and the Izhbitzer Rebbe’s more radical view - and highlights the struggle to find meaning and maintain faith amidst tragedy, offering both these theological perspectives as sources of comfort and guidance.
