Hello:
I have been graced in reading and knowing I can help my inner self heal and feel better about my ancestry which was German. They left before the 1900's but some how I know they knew about it, and it could of been stopped. I for being non-jew, am trying to learn the talmud in its beauty and life to help me heal and know my brothers.

Blessings to you Rabbi on job well done in breaching a very difficult topic that weighs heavily and every Jewish mind today. No, I am not going to be able to sleep better now because of new answers to old questions, but because you validated the way I have already thought and believed, with some gifted insight and analogies. As a middle aged Jew, I seemed to never have the time to answer my desire to attend Yeshiva, until recently, and as a result feel fortunate, closer to Hashem, and realize the purpose Hashem brought me jnto this world. I know many Jews who use the Holocaust or the premature death of a loved one as justification for living a secular life. I now will not only attempt to share my optimism with them, but also will refer them to this web site and your lecture on this subject. I feel as if I fabrengened with you this evening in Southern California, and I thank you with all my heart and soul for allowing me to welcome you into my home. Zai Gazunt, Hillel ben Mayer

Rabbi Friedman, you can not imagine, how much you tought me in your lecture.
About the people I was born in, the Germans,
About us, the Jews (I am a ger),
About Pain, that it is not getting in my way, but it is my way,
And some things were totally new for me, because I heard them for the first time in my life.
This Lecture I will listen too more than one time. (As I do with many others.)
I was a child at the time of the holocaust.
But - even if it nearly does not count - may I, as a born German, ask your slicha, that we killed your grandmother? I can not change facts, but I feel so sorry for all that happened.
Michal

Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?

Here is an authentically Jewish presentation of a painful subject which enables us to lay the groundwork for understanding G-d's justice. We come to understand the nature of Divine Providence, recognizing G-d's hand in every event. | |
