ITFT, what do those last two sentences mean? Are they directed at me? If so, I’d remind you that we as a people are named after one of our Avos whose name literally means “to struggle with the almighty”. HKBH didnt create the world for robots. Anyone who isn’t seeking clarity on what challenges him, or seeks understanding where human vicissitudes have muddied the waters of HKBH’s Torah, isn’t being honest with himself. But that is another matter entirely.
I brought this up in a polite and non confrontational way, to someone who I rarely agree with, asking for his perspective, because I know people in this circumstance. In fact I’ve taken a very non confrontational approach here for the better part of a year already. Your comment presumes something that is simply not the case.
I’m sorry that you felt a need to turn it into a personal attack on me. I’ll daven for you.
I am BH enthused with my emunoh in HKBH. I will never cease to struggle with the moral, halachic, and philosophical questions that arise from a Torah life and, thanks to my rebeim and my parents, from a good Jewish education.
I will continue follow the Kotzker’s interpretation of “Lo Saasu Kein L’Hashem Elokeichem” and the example of Yaakov Avinu. I won’t presume to tell you how to express your emunoh. Kindly refrain from presuming to tell me how to express mine.
