Reply To: Hashem

Thanks for the responses. Ok I’ll give a specific example (on trying to understand Hashem’s gevura):

I’ve been assured by my very learned relative that I will need to go through some sort of tikun Upstairs for every aveira I’ve done which hasn’t been properly atoned for in this world. So I was just wondering, would I be able to feel Hashem’s support through the suffering, similar to how people feel Hashem’s closeness even more when they’re in a rough spot in this world?

(source based answers please)

In other words, is Hashem mercifully cleansing us, or more coldly distancing us until we’re good enough to come close?

It would be good to have sources, if this topic is discussed, but I guess in any case, my first stop Upstairs would be to The Rebbe in any case, and I’ll take it from there….
