Get StartedFinding Divine Justice (Part 5 of 5)
When Evil Seems Unanswerable: Pesach’s Wisdom After the Holocaust
Rabbi Fohrman ends the video series by asking an important philosophical question regarding the Exodus story. Did God ever judge the Egyptians? Aside from taking the Jewish people out of Egypt, was there greater divine justice to be had? And if so, what does it look like?
Based on the previous texts that were studied in depth, Rabbi Fohrman shows how divine justice isn't something you see immediately, but rather it can be something that is meted out centuries later. His response to the Exodus can be found in the most interesting of places - in Deuteronomy 20. Come take a look.
