Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Parsha Va’eira Can a person of Faith question G-D?

welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week's Torah portion is partials the era the question of the week is can a person of Faith question God so in this week's Torah portion partials for hero the Torah begins and it says that God came and he spoke to moisture and he told him I am God and then the Torah continues on to say the era and I appeared I revealed myself to Abraham Isaac and Jacob what is the Torah telling us here because we know in the end of last week's Torah portion moisturabenu came with a tremendous complaint to God then he said why did you do such a terrible thing to the people they're in Exile and ever since I came to try to help them things only got worse so God responds and he says I am God and I revealed myself to Abraham Isaac and Jacob so I've asked a few powerful questions question number one is why are you so bad to these people so the question is God wrote the Torah why did he allow that in there why would God not edit that out you're talking terrible against God edit it out why are you at it why why is God keeping it in there and also what is the answer I I revealed myself to Abraham Isaac and Jacob it doesn't help the Jewish people in Gullah the Jewish people are in Exile they're suffering so what does it help me that you appeared before to Abraham Isaac and Jacobs Derby explained something very very powerful and he feels like this intellect holy intellect he's a Godly person so when he questioned why has God done such terrible things to the people they're in Godless they're in Exile they're suffering that is 100 okay it's okay to question and the proof that it's okay the question God left it in the Torah but nevertheless even though he questioned God says the era we have to have faith and we have to be able to see God and everything that's going on so in other words on one hand if something is bothering us if there's gullahs if there's eggs around if there's suffering the Torah makes it clear based on the fact that it leaves that part of the story in when moisture Obama complains against Hashem we have the power and we have the right and we should ask why is this terrible thing happening on the other hand we have to have complete faith but Arrow we have to have faith that everything coming from Hashem is good it's not a contradiction but the question is if things are someone's going through a challenge and they're suffering taking place out there how can we see God and everything where's the Revelation part and that's where the Torah says but a-roll I revealed myself to who to Abraham Isaac and Jacob who's Abraham and Isaac and Jacob that's our forefathers and we all know when someone passes away they leave over an inheritance so there's an inheritance physical inheritance inheritance of wealth but then there's values that people stood for they inherited to their children so in other words every one of us our descendants of Abraham Isaac and Jacob and just like Abraham Isaac and Jacob had tremendous faith in God we haven't whether we understand it we don't understand it's a gift that was given to us so therefore you ask the question where do we have faith from and the answer is very simple you know we have faith from we have faith because it's a gift that was given to us and we receive this as an inheritance maybe on Isaac and Jacob so even with all our questions but nevertheless we could and should have complete faith says the answer the question can a person of Faith question God absolutely we can question God why is this thing happening and even as we question it does not affect our faith our faith is strong because we see that God created the world maintains the world and runs the world and God loves us and it's all good how did the two go together who said they have to go together we could question and we have questions and the world of question it is a valid question but it does not take away from our faith in God our faith is strong we believe in God we see that God runs the world he's going to give us all the blessings that we all need thanks so much for joining us for our weekly tutorial lesson this week's Torah lesson is dedicated to memory of Baruch minari labe shlomaniel safe may their souls be elevated by Torah were studying in their memory for more information please see our website khabarswf.org have a great and blessed week A Week full of faith in God
